Garden Art with Luuuurve!

[DeborahJane]

My mum gave me a Debbie Camelia over 20 years ago . I know that because she has been gone for nearly 20 years. It was planted outside our bedroom window, got too big so had it moved. Sadly it didn't survive the move. I had the trunk in my hand to throw on the fire but couldn't do it.
I spray paint it silver every year or so and have had it in my garden ever since.
Here it is, newly spruced up and in its' new much safer pot.
I think it needs some solar fairy lights next.

What a lovely idea @DeborahJane .
We have a column apple tree that my parents gave us a couple of years before my Mum died , sadly it hasn't been looking too healthy for the last couple of years, but I can't bring myself to removing it, but now you have given me a brilliant idea for when the inevitable happens .....thank you

That is such a sweet sentiment...and a really memorable piece of art. Never put wine bottles on it.

What a great idea!

I must admit I hadn't thought of that DirtMechanic. If it tempts me I'll fight it. Think I'll stick to the fairy lights

I painted a sheeps skull with it and hung it in the garden to keep the neighbours away

Candles would be a nice touch. Perhaps the flickering LED type for ease of maintenance.

Made this with colour changing LEDs incase anyone gets past the skull

Oh WOW!!!..........Nice, but scary too

Just a loo roll tube with a light from a Christmas decoration, I put it in the hedge
