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.

found object dragonflies
Here are pictures of a few of my found object dragonflies. I make them out of found objects, so each one is unique.














This is how some of my dragonflies begin. As a broken chair spindle, or chair leg.
