POTTERY PROJECTS

Some of our re-purposing projects are more personal in nature. We like using odd pottery found at garage sales for $5 or less. These become a focal point in our outdoor garden. Many of these pots were not originally made with a drain hole for use with live plants. We use a modification.

Shown here are two different finds that were used to enhance the Asian theme we have going in a section of our garden.

Both pottery pieces had a Dragon theme. We wet drilled a 1 inch drain hole through the pot using a diamond hole saw.

We have found several versions of small growing, or low growing evergreens to serve as our live tree. You will have to use something that is adaptable to your local climate. You might have to cruise your local nursery. Be aware some species are not available all times of the year.

We have found it best to transplant your live tree and let it establish itself before you start shaping and trimming to get the visual effect you are after. Bare copper #14 or #14 wire can be used to train or bend the branches (or roots) to obtain your desired look.

FAIRY LAMP

This was a piece that would have otherwise been discarded.

The original 110V electrical wiring was in disrepair. This was "Picked" to be used outdoors in our "Fairy Garden" area.

The old wiring was completely removed along with the lamp socket. New 12V landscape wiring was pulled through the lamp. A T10 light socket lamp base pigtail was soldered on to the new wiring. The soldered connections were covered with "heat shrink"

This was connected to our existing 12V landscape system. A bulb plugged in and there was light. It is tucked in among some potted spice plants on one of our bakers racks.

Re-purposing at its finest!

BLOWN GLASS OIL LAMP

This is a beautiful hand blown glass oil lamp. It is lighter white, than shown in the image. More of a pearl look to it. The exterior finish has a iridescent sheen.

This is a great "as is" piece. It also has the potential for uses in "re- purposing" projects such as glass flowers, lamp base, decorative lighting, or specialty yard landscape lighting.
