Having seen these cool garden art glass totems all over the blogesphere last year I just knew that I had to make me one too. I mean, how hard could it be? Stack and glue pieces of glass together...easy as pie right? I began collecting pieces of glass that caught my eye at yard sales, thrift shops and the occasional auction. SF thought I was crazy as my collection of glass grew and grew. By this spring I had amassed quite the collection and figured now was the time to make my totems!
The hubby and I pulled all the pieces out and cleaned them up and began assembling the pieces. I had researched what type of glue to use and although others have used silicone, aquarium glue and some high $$ special glue...I used my trusty E6000 glue. I just made sure there was a good bead of glue around each piece and then let them sit for a few days before trying to move them. They're cute...but I think that project is out of my system now.
Well.....
till I find some cool glass somewhere!
Nice job! These turned out beautifully and I'm sure they've added some sparkly bling to your gardens:)

I make totems too! I made a real similar one to your blue one into a bird bath. I haven't done a post on them yet.
