An Unexpected Upscale Garden Junk Orb, Thanks to a Broken Barrel!

Spring is in the air on the west coast! And I couldn't wait to get outdoors and start to pretty things up!
As I was shuffling (the Christmas tree into the back of my truck...) stuff about, I moved a garden barrel out of the way.... and...
SPAT!
It broke into a million pieces. Oops.
Which led to TWO very unexpected projects that are having me feel very upscale suddenly...
All thanks to a broken barrel! Who knew?

Welcome to my garden... with my new/old fancy schmancy garden junk orb!
Well, it sure didn't start off that way.
The rims were tied at the ends with twine...
Then twisted.
I plunked it into place, and wow... I felt oh so very upscale!
Well wouldja lookit that... Now I'm glad the barrel didn't make it....
Because I like the garden junk orb even better!
It was feeling left out, so it became something really special too!
And if (broken?) junk entices you... fee free to check out what else broke and became instant art HERE
Enjoyed the project?
