I am a sucker for beautiful glass. I've been collecting art glass and making art out of glass all my adult life. So, when "not newing" exposed me to all the out-of-fashion vintage glass that looked like it might end up in a landfill, I had to rescue it. I've been making garden flowers, but really don't have any place to sell them. The craft fair I participated in was ill-attended and a pain in the butt. I'm hoping maybe Etsy will work: https://www.etsy.com/listing/247515142/art-glass-garden-flower-white-cobalt?ref=shop_home_active_1
I hope so, I have no room for all this bulky, heavy, fragile stuff. I should not let my heart overrule my head. Sigh.

My "not new" garden stake needs a little something.
Thought I'd try to create some repurposed garden art. This first attempt is both a win and a fail. It's a win because the construction techniques seem to be working. A fail because this one is kind of blah. I thought I could add some yellow wire between the two white dishes, but that didn't work out as a I had hoped. With just the two white dishes, it's a bit bland for anyone except the most extreme minimalist. I have an idea to bring some color to the center, but can't implement it until it gets warmer out (need to work in the garage to avoid the excessive fumes). I'll keep you posted how that turns out.
Full disclosure: while the glass dishes are used, I couldn't find any "not new" pipes and fittings...so the "stem" and attaching hardware are new.
