well it has been an uneventful boring rainy cold weekend . so i have been going through some folders on my laptop . most of which are gardening or art ideas . anytime i save a pic to use as an idea i never do it identical or for the same purpose . i get ideas in strange places . sadly i can not give credit for the original artist or crafter because a lot of times i get things that have been posted so many times its original origin has gotten lost along the way . anyway looking through my ideas folders has perked me up a bit . your forums have been a blessing to me when i can't sleep at night . so since i am wide awake her are a few goodies i wanted to share . hopefully they will inspire yall the way they did me .
. i fell in love with this water feature but it could also be done simply as a garden sculpture and colorful stones could be added here and there for added beauty .
this would be amazing indoors or out . some craft stores carry pretty colors in rope that would work nice as well or you could dye the rope .
such a simple but lovely way to add patterns to your garden . i could go crazy with this replicating fabric patterns onto rocks .
i am thinking maybe these wiffle balls could be stuffed with potting soil and sowed with seeds to make live hanging planters . several grouped together hung from the limbs of a tree would be adorable .
this is an earring holder made from a plastic soda bottle . but i think it would be good done with a 3 liter bottle for a wind spinner in a garden . so many different variations could be done with this .
i am thinking any type of raised bed or wooden planter would be beautiful with dyed wood to add color .
this one is from martha stewart ( not a fan of her personality but she does have good ideas )
would be great on a porch or garden room .
last but not least
i have tons of interesting jars and containers to use this idea . even a glass fishbowl would work . this is not limited to butterflies , could use other insects or fairies inside . then tuck them here and there in your flower beds anywhere they would add interest .
i hope i have planted some great ideas in your minds . seeds of imagination are the best to sow !
