METAMORPHOSIS MONDAY & MOSAIC MONDAY

Metamorphosis Monday is hosted by Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch. Please visit her beautiful site to see the interesting post she has done on photo aging. I will definitely be trying this.

My Victorian Planter got off to a slow start but has filled in nicely. 
Not only can you see the growth in the flowers but you can see the metamorphosis of my deck. 
The left photo shows the old deck and the right one shows the new black stain.

Mosaic Monday is hosted by Mary @ Little Red House. She also has the instructions there for those of you who have never made a mosaic before. Have a look at all the beautiful ones listed there.

When I posted the picture on the left a couple months ago lots of you commented on how much you liked the sun/moon face. Shortly after that the little zap strap that held it on the wall snapped and your can see the results. It was a very sad face then. Now the planter is growing nicely and I have propped up a piece fence in it to fill in the space.

  1. Your Victorian Planter is very cool! I know how quickly some plants can grow. I went to see my Mom for a few days and when I got home I could not believe how big some of my plants were!

    I like the black stain...we use stain instead of paint too on the railings..the black looks very dramatic!

  6. Wow you're great in the garden. I'm total creap and my yard is practically a wasteland :-( I wish I could get it together better - more gardening, less wine might help.

  9. I've bookmarked several of your outdoor pix for next year's yard/garden project at the Savant house.
    For now, they're in a folder called "Jealous".

  14. I hope you saved the pieces of the broken sun! You can press them in to cement and make a stepping stone!

  16. Ah too bad about the sun/moon face, it was really nice! If you kept the pieces maybe you could do a mosaic with those - broken pottery can be used in so many creative ways.

    Nice mosaic!
