The first one is a gazing ball stand that I bought just yesterday. It was a sale item at Lowe's, and who can resist a sale. I'm hoping it will be sturdy enough to support my gazing ball made from an old bowling ball. That is a lemon scented geranium in the front of the photo and some cosmos that self seeded themselves from last year in front of the stand.
The second is a black iron piece that was also purchased at Lowe's last year. This is a new area of the garden and the plants are just getting established. You can see a heliopsis in bloom on one side, the other side is a pink bleeding heart and in front are two grasses. I imagine when the grasses get bigger this piece of garden art will be moved to a new location. This year it is filling the space on the blank gray brick wall.
I love the scented geraniums but don't have any this year and your garden looks beautiful.. Love the art.

Hi Linda - How did you make your gazing ball? Is it marbles or those glass discs? Looks really cool.
ReplyDeleteI love yard art! I sure wish I knew your secret for energy to keep everything so neat & tidy, and not to mention beautiful!

Your gazing ball is gorgeous! Can we see it closer? I'm not sure what it's made of.....
ReplyDeleteMy gazing ball is made by covering an old bowling ball in the flat sided marbles. I'll repost how I made it in the next day or so. Thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteI edited the post and added a link to my personal website where I explain how to make the gazing ball.
ReplyDeleteI made a gazing ball just like this, I also made one covered with colored stones I found at the Dollar Store. I still have a couple of old bowling balls to transform. I'm collecting old, broken jewelry and would like to cover one with all that glitz.
