Thought I would share what I have been up to during these nice sunny days.
First attempt - Ivy
2nd basket - roses and daisies
3rd roses and mini sunflowers
and finally a wall basket/trough (two views)
decided the Ivy basket was too plain - so added some roses and cornflowers today (well that's what I am calling the blue daisies!)
All the items were tatty green hanging baskets and trough (although that wasn't too bad). Painted with black magic paint (from IW) which is for metal and plastic and then painted with acrylics. I even painted the rusty chains with the black paint! I had originally only used the paint on our old swing and other metal bits in the garden and when I realised that it was suitable for plastic - this brainwave came into my head!
Wonder if when they are hanging up outside the house I will get some orders!
