Garden Art...

I've shifted back to my glass sculpture for the summer months...meaning shopping for great glass pieces that go together to make cool sparkly totems, birdbaths, hanging pieces, and anything else I can think of to do with Goodwill goodies...

Recent ones include this lighthouse with teal blues...

Here it is up close.  I have discovered the ceramic pieces have a much longer life outside if I find a glass piece to go over them...

This is the wonderful colbal color with crystal.  That bottom piece is really heavy so this is quite sturdy.  Too bad my camera angle is not the sturdiest.... looks a bit tipsy...lol

Looking closely you would see a little pink piggy and his butterfly friend in the top clear glass part.  And of course, his glass colors had to be pink with a touch of pearly white.

Here he is up close...

Speaking of little characters...here is a little black bear climbing up a tree stump.  His accompaning glass is black and green and this totem is rather slim and taller than most.  Made if for the camp/resort that carries some of my crafts.  Their camping symbol used to be a black bear.  Thought the campers might like seeing it in their own garden when they go home.

Here he is up close...still a little hard to see details.

This piece has soft green spray paint to add to the pink glass  to pick up the colors of the centerpiece of the little garden fairy and her blooms.

...and we have a close-up

A favorite of mine...in purples...added crystal drops and crystal flat marbles for bling.

Last for today...my first all glass birdbath with some serious weight in that bottom piece to keep it from blowing over in a good wind.
