    Here's our first finished totem. This beautiful frosted glass is murano glass. The beads are glass too. I don't know where this will go yet. I'm done with the other one but hubby said let him tote it outside. He sometimes thinks I am made of glass too. :rolleyes:

    Bethie, that is gorgeous. I love the little bits of green with the frosted glass.

    Nosey Zeb is adorable, what kind of dog is he?.....um, he is a dog, right?

    Zeb is a German Shepherd. His nose is sitting on the table as he gazes longingly at yours truly on the other side of the table. He is a companion animal Supreme.

    The ears looked like a German Shepherd, we had one for 16 years before getting Rambo. Does that longing gaze mean....let's play, feed me or I wonder what you would taste like?

    It's just the Look of Love. That look can change in an instant when someone pulls up in the driveway.

    Bethie I think maybe you should nickname it "The Snowman" for that's what it reminds me of :) Nice to see a frosted glass creation.

    Where are the possible locations for it?

    Bethie I would be so proud to have that in my garden. It is gorgeous. How tall is it? I can just see one either side of my front door!! I think I'd need to borrow a dog like Zeb though to guard them from thieves.

    Very pretty - I too like the touch of green. Is it waterproof so it can stay outside?

    Eileen, it's 19 inches tall. It will definitely go outside. We may put some white twinkle lights inside it so it will have to be near a power source.

    Twinkly lights would be a great addition to it - maybe close to the front door.
