This is Kev's pattern, thanks Kev!! The white daisy in the first pic is kinda blown out so I'm attaching a pic I took before I put the stakes on!

These came out really nice Anne. I love the folds of the petals. How do you attach them to the stake?

I used Gorilla Glue - it dries white so you have to clean it up really well when it's still in the setting stage but it's waterproof and from the tests I've done I don't think I'm going to have the 'high heat, coming apart issues' I've had with every other glue I've tried.

I used Gorilla glue to repair a ledge that water runs over on an outdoor water fountain; over two years now and still holding. |

Anne These are great and love the different colors too. Good to know that the gorilla glue will hold up in the weather. Kev's flower patterns are great, Thanks Kev

Oh, Anne I really like those. Do you sell them? I have made some of those way back (different styles and not fused), but anyway didn't sell one of them. I stopped taking them to shows for a while. If they don't sell this year, I just may stick them into my garden

Thanks everyone, they were fun to make. Joan, I HOPE to be selling them! I have a show in 2 weeks so that'll be the first exposure for them, so I guess we'l see how it goes.
Di, the stakes are peony bush stakes from Home Depot (thanks again LouAnn - that girl is just a fountain of information you guys!). They're metal encased in plastic so the rust will be kept to a minimum and they're plenty heavy enough! Pretty inexpensive overall too.

Yup, the first one for the year! I did the same show last year and it wasn't any great shakes but I figured if I come away with some money in my pocket that's ok, more than I had when I walked in the door. It's close to home so costs are low (aside from the booth costs) and I like doing the shows so I am looking forward to it.

Those are very cute! Gorilla Glue eh? I'll try to force that into my memory banks for when I do some garden stakes!
Good luck w/your show Anne, hope you have great sales!
