I have this arrangement with my plants, you see:
I put them in the ground: They grow.
Water, weeding, fertilizer, etc. is not part of the package. So by Autumn, many of my plants have deserted me, and a topiary just isn't on.
I decided that, rather than having my morning meditations over a plant cemetery, I'd like to look at pots full of twinkly little stars. This is my experiment in sculptural elements.
Preparation
I began by shopping. (smile)
Michael's always has lots-o-stars, so I started there.
Then I hit up "Savers", my favorite used stuff place in Arizona. They had -Glory Be!- actual lawn furniture;
a table and cart to put my sculptures on. They also had tacky flowers and cool twinkly stuff.
Armed by retail therapy, I was equipped to do the boring part:
Sweep the porch, Move in the furniture, and Wash the old stuff:
(which was good, cause I found more useful stuff:)
and I shall end this post with the most boring part of all:
Putting Dirt in All the Pots, so I could start playing:
