Garden Art

Patti Biggar
by Patti Biggar
A couple years ago I created garden stones with pictures of my grandchildren and they got to decorate them. I soldered their pictures between glass, then mixed up quickcrete. I used those round plastic things you put under pots to keep water from running through pots. Whatever they call them! I put the quickcrete into them, put the glass enclosed picture in the middle and then let the grandkids have fun putting stones and bobbles to decorate them how they wanted! But I learned after 2 years to keep the stones out of the sun, as the pictures started fading. :(

    Love this idea! A must do this summer. Wonder if you covered this with polyurethane it would help keep the pictures from fading?

    I think the UV rays would still go through the polyurethane and fade the pics but thanks for the suggestion! I do think I will use that on my mosaic table....see that post.
