Folksy Handmade - Heather Moors

This time I've been inspired by my Heather Ripple Bird Bath and I've put together a collection of items that have the colours of, or are representing the heather moors, and The Highlands. I love the colour combinations of nature and this is a particularly beautiful one. As usual I've tried to include a range of crafts, and I've got some lovely supplies too.

The Highlands In Your Garden

This is the latest version of my Ripple Bird Bath design. This one is inspired by the colours of heather moorland under a brooding sky. I've used purples, greens, and grey blues in this palette. The stones are Scottish pebbles and are stacked like a cairn, and there is a ripple of iridescent tiles next to them, and a ripple of clear heather glass to add depth and interest to the design.
