New Broken China Jewelry!

 


Hey friends! Taking a quick break from book-writing to share three new pieces of broken china jewelry that I just listed in my shop this morning - more to come soon but for now it's back to working on the Deccorative Soldering book - getting closer to the finish line every day!







  I hope you are having a great summer! 
Stay tuned for my newest book, Decorative Soldering, coming soon!

The Upcycled Garden Volume 18: Using Recycled & Salvaged Materials In Your Garden


 Hey friends! Here we are again; another garden is upon us, and I always look forward to putting together my Upcycled Garden blog posts for you each year. Here we are at volume 18! Enjoy this garden aesthetic inspiration and read on below for some of my best tips for using recycled & salvaged materials in your garden! Happy summer!




Small Hanging Metal Sculptures: Metal sculptures are always popular garden decorations. Why not try your hand at making your own?





Birdbaths: Use old birdbaths in your garden but in new ways: as planters, for candles, or as a butterfly feeder - each unique piece of garden art.





Flowers: Display plants and flowers in unexpected containers.




















Rustic Birdhouses: Use old wood scraps and bits and baubles to create a rustic-style birdhouse for your backyard feathered friends.







  I hope you are having a great summer! 
Stay tuned for my newest book, coming soon!
