| Purple Clematis Mosaic Mirror Garden Plant Stake |
I seem to have a thing about creating flowers that are stylised versions of real flowers at the mo. I came up with a petal shape that reminded me of a clematis flower, so I decided to make a pair of plant stakes which could be used in containers, or borders. The beauty of these stakes is they can be moved around as things come into flower to create a feature using them as ornaments. They look fab with these blush pink tulips, but can be easily moved when the tulips are finished to create another display, Or, you could use them with evergreens to add colour, or just on their own as a contemporary garden display.
Because I was using the dark purple tiles to create the flower I wanted something light for the background. I decided to use mirror, which makes the dark flowers really stand out. Plus the mirror reflecting the light means these plant stakes looks great even in shady borders, or corners.
these are lovely, sadly we don't have garden at the moment but maybe they would look good in a vase or a big beautiful jug? what do you think? would they be too heavy? x
ReplyDeleteHi, Amy. That's a great idea. They are actually relatively light. But if you did find they were slightly top-heavy for a vase, you could always shorten the metal stake slightly with a hacksaw. Jo : )
