My front porch doesn’t get a lot of sun… so the plant options are limited.
Not surprisingly, I went more for texture & color than flowers! And to give it
a little height, a little animation and a little whimsy… I made squiggly plant stakes!
Very simple… I just cut “ribbons” of slab, corkscrew twisted them, then curved them
again in loose curly-ques! I then soda-fired them for that natural finish. I love how
they give fit right in… and I can’t wait to see what happens over the summer
as the coleus grows taller, the potato vine grows longer, and the spikes become
even more “incorporated” into my front porch garden.
These are GREAT!
Thanks Nancy… so simple, and yet so groovy!!!
I am stealing this idea. See what blogging gets you?
OR, you can make a bunch and sell them to me. It may be years before I qualify for soda.
Love the squiggles! I want to buy some for my planters.
