Started a Garden Art Project, and ended up with a Dinning Room Centerpiece.

Using four separate Terra Cotta pieces I found at the local Good Will and some silicone glue to start.

    Found a silk swag at Good Will brand new with the tags still on it. Took it apart and added it too, along with a little dried grass inside the lantern section.

    Thanks Patty, I love finding things to repurpose and Goodwill is a great place to start. I happen to pick these items up on a half off day, so the cost of the project was only about $5. Not including the paint and glue that were left over from other things.
