Are you into gardening? Me, too. Do you have chimes, garden decos in your garden? Were they given to you or did you make them yourself? The only garden deco we have are two windchimes and a buddha. Gifts .. all of them.
I went to an art exhibit in Germany and I bumped into a stall tended by a guy. I asked him whether he was the artist and he said no but he is friends with her. Since the stall was being swarmed by people who were checking the stuff he was selling out, he handed me a brochure and I noticed he looked like the model on it. I asked him; "Do you mind if I take a few pictures of what you have here and write about your friend artist in Steemit? He told me to email the artist and I did. I told her, I'd be writing about her here in Steemit.
After a few weeks of waiting, Tejita gave me a go signal and wrote me that I may feature her here at the same time I may use any of her photos on her website . For some reasons it only lead me to most stuff like these flower earrings. They may look simple to you but these are real pansies inside an epoxy resin which is polished to give it its glossy effect. They are water and scratch resistant and probably not breakable if it gets dropped on the floor.
What actually caught my attention are these pretty ceramic wind chimes. The details on the each chime is just so colorful and beautifully embossed. It gives it that fairy garden effect if you hang it on a tree. I just wonder whether it could survive the weather here, though. Perhaps it would on a window of a garden glass room where it won't be wet. Oh, forgive me that they're shaky - a kid decided to push them one by one to hear what they sound like and I didn't have much time to wait till it finally stops swinging.
They were not the only ones. If like me you have pots of succulents that you put together to create that mini forest or farms effect than you may also decorate those pots with these ceramic animal chains. Better yet, I remember @meesterboom had dinosaurs in his Christmas tree perhaps these would also do.
No, I didn't really buy any of them, my garden is already crowded with plants and aside from these wind chimes I have in the garden, one on the sycamore tree and the other on side of the wood shed(the one invaded by the spider) ... the array of flowers I have are enough decoration for me.
How about you, do you have special accessories and garden decors in your backyard? Are they also made of ceramics? I'd really like to know.
I took all the pics with my Samsung Galaxy A3 except for the wind chimes below which I tool with my Galaxy Note 1.
