  • This is my "totem".  I've had it outdoors for several years now. It's held up really well except for the "ladder" incident last fall while a helpful neighbor was helping me clean out the gutters. 10
  • These are the tools you'll need. I use GE II Silicone for Windows and Doors (clear) with a caulk gun.
A level will come in handy to make sure your totem doesn't lean. 4
  • Wash and dry (thoroughly) your glassware. I suggest you let your vases and such dry overnight. If you have ANY moisture inside, it will be sealed inside once you apply your sealant.
  • apply your silicone to one of your pieces, then add your next piece to it.
  • remove the excess silicone with your finger or a paper towel. 
*tip*  I generally glue two pieces together, while gluing another two pieces together.  After those four pieces set up overnight, then I glue the two (or 3) sets together.
  • *tip*  to keep water from standing in your plates, turn them upside down.  I like to separate my large vases and such with clear plates. A microwave plate makes a great base piece. 3
  • You can use a plate on top right side up to make a bird feeder or a birdbath. 6

Here's a kitchen project we worked on with Distinctive Remodeling Solutions. We did the flooring, tile and backsplash.

  • End of June toping the 3 ft cage 1
  • July 9th after a week of record high temps and very little rain...the plants here are loaded with tomatoes inside the cage and full of blooms too!

Tomatoes and their need for water

I started may 28th planting 4 tomatoes around a garbage can with holes drilled in the bottom rim and a second row up about 10 inches... buried the can to where the top holes just barely ...»
were above the ground... put in two shovels full of compost... then I fill the can up with water ever 2 days and try not to water the leaves... these four plants are now 5 ft 4 inches in less that a month and a half and loaded with green tomatoes and about a hundred sets of tomato blossoms...

  • Can't wait to move them into the flowerbeds.
  • When they have cured long enough they can be painted, stained or sealed.

Birdbaths....

I made several of these from a leftover bag of cement and some rhubarb leaves. The birds love them, and so easy to make. ...»

Make a mound of sand or dirt, lay the leaf face down with the veins facing up. Apply the cement to the fop of the leaf in the thickness desired, make sure it will be sturdy. You can shape the edges of the leaves. Cover with plastic for a few days, uncover, turn it over and remove the leaf. You may need to use a stiff brush for this or just wait and it will breakdown. Enjoy!!

    I have fig leaves. They would be a lot smaller but maybe a cluster of them would be nice. I'll have to try it. I love yours, Great idea.
