Hi everyone, I am just getting into making these lovely 'flowers' I started to use the new gorilla SUPER glue for the spoon in the back. It is so strong that after 24 hours you can bend the spoon and that glue will not budge. What are you using for embellishments on your plates? Since I live in Connecticut I will bring them in when the frost hits, until then I am enjoying my new found addiction LOL

Thank you Marlene Daise NonaCook and Concretenprimroses. I am slowly working on the background fill for the second window. So anxious to get them hung up. I bounce back and forth between my glass , house chores ,yard chores and helping hubby in his shop working on the old truck. This is a good thing he has ambition to do things. He just needs help because the chemo induced neuropathy in his hands still bothers him. I never aspired to be a mechanic. He is changing wheels on the old flat bed from split rims to regular. This is a good thing and means I will have a truck for hauling things. So I am not complaining too much. I keep finding bits of garden junk stash in my hoard and adding it all to the flower bed for decor. The plants are filling in a little showing promise of things to come. I had a change of plans in the fountain department. I needed a stronger pump to make water come from the watering can so instead I used a fountain frog and did crystals on the watering can spout. Baby steps. I just need time to be able to go sit in my new little patio area. LOL I need to get some pond plants too.

I only use the GE ll clear silicone for outdoor use there are different ones but the one I use is the blue and white tube sun and freeze proof. You can get it in the big tubes for a gun or just small squeeze tubes I like the small tubes better. SUN-/FREEZE-PROOF

Wow, these are really beautiful!! How long is the threaded rod you're using? Is it easy to bend or do you have to use a pipe bender? Do you use rubber washers? Is the rod 1/4 inch around? I've made bird feeders with chick feeders and have found drilling the glass is time consuming but wow, you make it look like it's the best way to make these flowers.
