Welcome to My World

It’s spring here in Kansas, and I’m itching to get outside in my garden. The glass totem installation in the front yard has been looking a bit catty-wampus after it’s third winter, and it’s time to get out there and set things to right. I’ve been amazed I haven’t lost any of my totems to our extreme weather. I’ve never had a piece of glass break, even through a couple of moderate hailstorms, but I do have a couple of pieces that have come apart at the seams and need to be re-glued. A couple have fallen victim to some of the littles in the neighborhood. One little boy (about two?) walked up to a totem, reached out and before his mom or I could redirect, snapped off the finial at the seam. No matter. It’s easily reattached.

    1. Thanks, Donna! I actually don’t paint my glass…it’s all found as you see it, although some of it is painted glass. Purists don’t use commercially painted glass because it sometimes fades, but I haven’t had that happen much and mine have been installed in front garden for almost three years now. However, I have seen some truly beautiful painted totems. Check out https://www.facebook.com/SecondGlassGardenArt for ideas.
