After successfully finishing two Quikwall projects I've got a few more in the works and plenty more in my head! Whistling I've seen plenty of EXPENSIVE pieces of garden art I'd love to add to the gardens but unfortunately the budget won't allow it. I began to realize that Quikwall might enable me to make my own 'knock off' of the pieces and this is the one I'm working on right now. I don't have any photos of the work in progress but this is what it's supposed to look like when I'm done.

I bought a bell on sale in February and constructed the base and circle in two pieces with styrofoam and Quikwall. The area of the gardens where it will be placed demanded tall legs but they'll be hidden behind a wooden walkway so it should have the same effect once installed. Sticking tongue out This piece is advertised for over $1000.00!!! Once completed the whole project, bell included, will cost me less than $50.00 and obviously won't be as heavy to move into the gardens! Thumbs up
