Teresa and Thank You Dirt and Teresa. The drink cans create a surprisingly durable product and the thinner strong aluminum material adds a sort of realistic delicateness is why I like working with them.

David, I am just blown away by these beautiful flowers you've created from aluminum cans!! Really AWESOME ... any plans on offering them for sale?

edited to correct my typo.

We drink more than our share of soda in this household but I can just see me trying to make something from the aluminum cans ... I'd be at the ER within 5 minutes because I'm such a klutz; even with heavy-duty gloves on my hands I'm sure I'd end up with a wound of some sort, somewhere.

I was wondering what you used to make those precise cuts.

Awe you could do it Lynn! Its not nearly as sharp as you might think, and I haven't cut myself yet once, knock on wood!!!

Yes I am planning them for sale and do have a few on my etsy store. I want to do more Orchids, Iris's and Daylilys next.

Just scissors Teresa!

David,

I want to order the flower that looks like the Water Lily/Lotus flower and I'd also like to order two of those miniature Syngonium plants if you still have them available! I went to your etsy store and found the flower but not the plants so I need to know how best to order.

Thanks so much,

Lin

I must have missed the Etsy link. Can someone repost plz. Thanks

@bluegrassmom Teresa, go back up to one of DavidofDeland's post; the link is on the bottom section of all his posts

Thank you Teresa and Bev for being so helpful.

Lin,

Thats so great!

Which of the ones were you interested in regarding color and size. The two 20.00 ones listed are in salmon pink or white. The Cereus looking one (also Waterlily / Lotus looking) is huge at 15 inches but has those pink tentacles behind it more like a cereus and is 25.00. On my Etsy site they are individualized but have some of the same title subject comparisons in the titles.

I would love to ship you whichever you like best, and believe I can carefully package the two live plants and the flower in 1 box for a better shipping price. while I am quick to the draw usually with shipping;...I think with New Years coming up right before a weekend it would be best for me to ship Monday or Tuesday with the live plants. I will Tree-mail you when I calculate the right shipping and find out which you like best of the Aluminum can flowers.

Thank you!

David

This is the white Waterlily at 20.00 I think you will really like the way all these look in person too.


This is the Salmon Pink also at 20.00. These are both 11 inches across.


This is the more Cereus yet still Lotus looking 15 inch one at 25.00

David, I want the one in the last photo for $25 - the one that looks like a Cereus bloom from the side and a Lotus from the top. I also want tow of the mini Syngonium if you still have them available. I can do pay pal or whatever is easiest for you, just let me know what you prefer.

Thanks so much,

Lin

Great choice, Lin!!!! My favorite too and the little plants are also wonderful.

Thanks Sharon, I fell in love with the Iris first and then as I scrolled through Davids photos and spotted that one that reminded me of Epiphyllum:

Tree Mail me your zip code And I'll send you my Paypal invoice Lin. They'll likely arrive Wednesday or Thursday. Can't wait to see where you hang or stake the flower!

It is a great choice Sharon. Lin will get comments for sure!

David, I sent you a tree mail!

I love your Madam Empress, she of the nasty stings. Will she be available?

I'm just adding some final touches to her pot and enjoying her for a while. Then she will be Woofie. The new Orchid in development is going to be "Mr. Whiskers" A whiskered and spotted Toad Orchid.

This is what 'Mr Whiskers' looks like unfinished.

2015? Wow!

A New Year to create Garden Art!
*****************************
'Mr whiskers' now has his first metal primer coat and its clear that 'Miss Twinkle' is always in the back of his mind!

Happy 2015 and lets stay busy creating that Garden Art!

guaranteed some fantastic art coming out of Greenspacegardens in the new year!

David, can I commission one with the essence of a cat face in it somewhere somehow, and a bee, the rest of it your sublime vision? please, oh please, oh please!?!

Oh, dirt, that would be so perfect for you! Please, David, please?
