I took apart an old calendar and of course saved the spiral ring thingy that kept the pages together....it's the type of things that just might come in handy some day. During the heat of summer, my brain was getting fried and I needed something to keep it more pliable so I put this together. Tain't much but it's fun to watch when the wind blows it around. Silly silver floppy thing ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) I painted a smallish styrofoam ball with silver paint, poked the spiral thingy in and stuck a small stick into the spiral and Voila' a new piece of garden decor.
You may be on to something, designer wind direction gauges. If it ever starts to rain again in Texas a designer rain gauge would be a snappy item in the yard. All sorts of possibilities. Jerry
Yep... she's definitely the "Mistress of Garden Junque" alright! Amazing what you can put together when you're stuck inside due to the weather.
If I were stranded on a desert island, you are the type of person to be stuck with - plenty of creative ideas brewing up in that noggin.
You never cease to amaze me, Toni. You just keep coming up with unique stuff. I can sort of imagine how this thing works with the wind blowing. Way to go, Toni.
I love your silver, silly, floppy thing and I love it even more you are recycling! Now, I am on the hunt for one of those springy things off a calendar so I can make me one or two or three..... :-D hummmm....5 styrofoam balls and springs and you have a little man waving in the wind! Keep posting pictures of other recycled items you are inventing! Sunny
