(Quoted
in Winning Ways )
Oh,
no, I couldn't possibly do that.
Well,
maybe I could try.
I guess
I can do it,
but
not very well.
I'm
doing it, but I'm very, very frightened.
Oh,
my, I'm doing it better.
Oops!
I made a mistake.
Guess
I can't do it after all.
Oh well.
I'll try again.
See!
I'm not doing any better
this
time.
Okay,
I'll try one more time. Maybe twice.
Hey
look! I'm pretty good!
I guess
I can do it, after all.
Wow!
This is really fun.

This
is the first large planter I ever made from hypertufa and for years I kept
it in the front yard so passersby
could
enjoy seeing it. I've also had a photo of this trough on my website
for several years now.
See What is Hypertufa?
Last
spring I moved this planter to the lakeshore because I'd found a fabulous
obelisk trellis
that
I wanted to see from my office window. Doesn't it look wonderful down there?
By
summer's end, of course, you could barely see many of the planters for all
the beautiful
plants.
Now
you can see that obelisk trellis again and you can also see the birds enjoying
their winter treats.
In
just a few months the plants will emerge and I'll be moving things around
as I do every spring.
Oh
how I love it here on this little lake in northwestern Wisconsin!

Inspired
by the appearance of hypertufa, a series of eBooks
with unique methods and materials
•Bangles and
Pins & Pendants are available
now
•Earrings will
be available later this year
Embellish
your designs with:
Old
or broken pieces of jewelry...
Computer
generated art, type, photos...
Buttons
and beads...
Fabrics
and foil...
Marbles
and glass...
Wire
and rocks...
Start
with foam peanuts or foam trays, combine with white glue, add
a little acrylic paint,
and
spread this mixture on a shape you’ve cut from a foam plate
or a slice you’ve cut
from
a 24 ounce plastic bottle. Add some embellishments and just look what you
can create!
As
we become more educated about what our consumerism is doing to our planet,
learning
to recycle our throwaways becomes a wiser option than taking yet another trip
to the mall.
Besides,
once you get started you’ll discover,
as I did, that it’s much more fun to make than to buy!
I started
making jewelry using recycled materials more than a dozen years ago.
It
takes a bit of practice, and it’s kind of messy until you get the hang of
it,
but
this has turned into a craft I absolutely adore.
