Garden Art From "Junk"...

The results are in!

Wow! Did we ever get a response from the June Newsletter. You are a creative bunch out there! We were overwhelmed with the terrific things you sent in for others to see.
Creativity breeds creativity, so dig in and have fun!

PLEASE, due to the volume of pics, zip files, and other methods of sending pictures, it has
been a major task to keep things straight. Also... this month's newsletter is dedicated to
"Garden" Art and, although we received about 75 pictures with beautiful creations which easily
fit inside a home, they just weren't "Garden" oriented.. So...if you sent in photos and don't see
them here, please understand why. If I have goofed with a name, or any other information,
forgive me! And send me the needed correction right away so I can fix it.

The newsletters go onto the main website which is viewed by thousands daily,
so let me make it right, okay?

No yelling at me! Please??? ~big grin~

Now, here are the goodies you sent! The creativity is incredible! Someone does one thing and
someone else does it with a twist and it snowballs. Sure wish I had more time to try some of these!

We could have gone several pages with all the things sent in, but tried to keep this down to size.
If you dumpster dive, please be careful! And if you scour the neighborhood on trash night, smile as you pick
through the trash! They will make assumptions concerning your stability, but that is half the fun! ~snicker~

Wish I could have put all the things sent on here! But what is here should give you many ideas to start
projects of your own. Recycling is not just a fun way to decorate, but a neat way to help the environment!

Most of the images can be "clicked on" to enlarge them.
Please remember, they are large images and will take
a few seconds to load. Enjoy!

This charming fountain is made from a pile of old PVC pipe with concrete cabbage leaves.Closer view to the right!

Rusty wheelbarrow, a neat garden addition. And check out the whitewashed headboard with the birdhouses! Cute project for any garden. And it's made from "junk"! Courtesy of Dana!

Balls and more balls! Pretty and fun!

Thank you Deborah!

More from Deborah!

Brass chimes.

Dangly with mirror beads.

Aren't these fun? Love the creative ideas here!

I was shown some neat gazebos made with the big satellite dishes for tops. Did not get definite
permission to publish those but let your imagination have fun with that idea too!

Deborah made this bedframe trellis! Great for any climbing vines! She received rave reviews on this one!

Looks like feathers to me! It's paint!
Beautiful Eileen!

I envy the time all of you have to make
these terrific things!

These are made for inside, but could easily be garden lights! Picture them on either side of your entryway!

Eileen's Bowling Balls!

If I am stressed out, my hubby knows by the color what mood I'm in! ~grin~

Here is my contribution. I wanted a flagpole. So I took a fence post, stained it with marine varnish, added the flag holder and some plant hangers and voilà, a different kind of flagpole! PS. The lantern holds a candle and turns to reveal several colors.
