It is ! Very satisfying also knowing I can create something out of something else! Thanks for all the ideas!

Lorna, what a great idea…VERY creative! It’s fun, isn’t it to have something unique to use out on the porch?

Hi Lauri, thank you for the kind remarks. I’m so glad you’ve discovered the fun of making your own garden art. I have hard water myself. I can’t think of any product that could be applied to prevent water spots. I always worry that something would end up flaking off or in some way detract from the beauty of the piece. All my garden art gets plastered with dust and dirt and bugs from being outside, and I just have to clean them off from time to time. To make the cleaning easier, you might wanna fill a spray bottle with a water/vinegar solution. Or dip your cloth in it. It will loosen the mineral debris and give glass an extra sparkle, too. Otherwise, you might try placing a plastic garbage sack or bag over your art or even moving it before running the sprinkler. Hope that helps. Thanks again for visiting my site. Happy crafting! Kristen
