Update on the Garden and Patio Area so far. Junk Sculpture,Salvage and Recycling


 Hello there! I'll bet you've been wondering what's going on around here...besides trying to keep the squirrels from eating all of my strawberries.



I retouched the paint on that junk sculpture trellis but decided it was just too boring so I grabbed my paints and kicked the color up a notch.



My favorite change was turning the large flowers into sunflowers. Making the other flowers red and painting some vines on the frame seems to have helped a lot. My next plan is to make the birds a bright blue and maybe even the trim on the birdhouse to bring the color all of the way through.






It's still slow going with the wheelchair and the lack of money but it's turning into a more comfortable and happy space all of the time.



The next phase of the project will be to retouch the paint on the patio furniture.
what colors are still yet to be determined but salvage efforts have turned up some cans of primer and a bit of green paint so far.

Painted Birdhouses








If the color scheme on this birdhouse looks familiar it's because I painted it to be part of the "junk" sculpture that I've been working on for the last couple of weeks. I'm also doing a second birdhouse in the same colors but different flowers for the other side of the sculpture. These will mount through the existing screw holes in what used to be the back of my old reclining sofa. (it's now the top of my new trellis)
