First of all, a lot of people asked me how I made those boxes on yesterday's post. I did not use a glue gun. I used craft glue. I think a glue gun would be too messy for these projects. At least for me. All hell breaks lose when I have a glue gun in my hand. Had I used a glue gun I am sure you would have seen one of my fingers attached to the top of one of those boxes. I went on a thrifting mission yesterday. I love it when I thrift with a mission. It gives my life purpose. I was on the hunt for green glass to make a garden totem. I found this cool bird cage which is now residing in the gazebo.
I keep finding these porcelain birds and can't get enough of them. I have all kinds of ideas for how I am going to use them.
This cute ceramic basket was 99 cents.
This duck was also 99 cents and is now down by the lower pond.
It rained yesterday. Can you guess who took a nap in front of the fan while she was drying off?
And here it is...my first garden totem. Click on these pics for a better look. It was very hard to photograph.
I found most of these pieces for 29 and 49 cents.
There are 11 separate pieces in this totem.
These can be placed anywhere in your garden where they will reflect light or can be used just as decorations. The very top is a porcelain bird bell. These are my new addiction. I am going to go and make another one right now. These are serious fun!!!

My firts thought when I saw Your totem was: what a great oil lamp :-) I really like it, but I wouldn´t dare having anything like it in my garden. It would most likly soon be glass pieces all over the place :-) :-)
Have a great day now!

I love the idea of glass reflecting in the garden! And yes, what did you use for adhesive?
