Garden Art

Hi,
I want to share one of my favorite garden art pieces.

It was originally a table top sculpture I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby.

I thought it was interesting, and it reminded me of a flower, so I brought it home with me.

It needed some color to bring out the flower characteristics.  I tried painting it purple with pink tips, but it didn't pop.  So, I decided to try yellow and purple.  Much better.

Once I had it painted, I cut off the base using bolt cutters.  I left the "stem" so I could mount it outside. I had a piece of copper pipe I hammered into the ground, and I inserted the stem into the pipe opening. 

I like how it turned out. 

I hope you find something that inspires you to be creative and create a unique piece of art for your garden.
