pendant lamp.

I traced around the lighting fixture with a sharpie to see what I needed to cut out.

With a wire cutter I chopped through & then it was just attaching the light fixture.

I love the shadow that is cast through the trash can.

Nothing better than turning trash into treasure!

Garden Art Frog Prince - Free Tutorial

A friend saw a garden art frog prince during a garden tour and asked me to make one. She didn't have a photo, so all I had to go by was 'it's round, green, funny, and wears a crown'. ...»
Okay. I can make one of those! I confess, it's not my usual style of garden art, but I was up for the challenge.

This project is suitable for a somewhat experienced crafter or anyone who is willing to experiment and adapt. When you work with repurposed/used materials, each frog will be unique-which is wonderful, really-but does require a bit of patience and imagination.

I used a sturdy glas lamp globe for the body. An old bowling ball would work very well too.

Full instructions, materials, and frog dress-up ideas are on my blog here: http://www.empressofdirt.net/frogprincetutor...

  • Years of hard water deposits and grime accumulated ove time.
  • 15 minutes later! Major difference!
  • Start by saturating the entire area with a 60-40 percent mixture of white vinegar and water. Spray the area liberally with a spray bottle and let the mixture sit for a few minutes. This will help loosen everything up
  • Then take an old handy dandy toothbrush and start scrubbing the water deposits. The gunk and hard water deposits will start to break off in little chunks. Then rinse with steaming hot water. 1
  • Now that you have cleaned off the top layer, grab a scouring pad to get the stubborn spots. Just moisten the pad with  a little hot water and begin scrubbing the crevices where the remaining water deposits are. 1
  • You can see the blue "soap" from the scouring pad where I had to scrub a little harder than the toothbrush would allow.
  • Now give it one final rinse with hot water and use your dry eraser to clean off smudges. This step kind of "polishes" it off but is not necessary if you don't have any minor surface level scuffs.
  • One final rinse and a wipe down with a paper towel and you are done my friend! And no harmful chemicals were used which is a bonus!
  • Voila! Now your sink faucet shines like a brand new one!!! With a little elbow grease and a couple cleaning tools and supplies you have saved yourself lots of money and can prolong the life of your existing sink and faucet! 1
