    So many wonderful ideas in this project! First, spraying the inside of a clear glass piece to give it color. Then, the inclusion of a golden pot inside another clear glass piece to make it glow. Next, the snuggling together of bowls to create a great shape for the stand. Then placing green gems in the concavities of the upside-down bowls. Then the application of a sealant to maintain the green color of the basin. And finally, the addition of a solar fountain. The result, absolutely beautiful! You have such a creative mind! When a video comes up from you I wonder what new and clever techniques will be demonstrated. Thank you so much! ⭐️ Kitty and lizard inspected and approved! First visit, a butterfly. 🦋 Just wondering, does the level of the lake we see through your window change with the seasons? It's a such peaceful view. 😊

    Thank you for this video. It answers a lot of questions. I've been using GE silicone since I started making glass flowers a couple of years ago. Since I started making the hanging bird feeders, and after watching your videos, I've been using the epoxy but it is a little hard to use and it's expensive. But that being said I feel the epoxy might be better for the weight of the feeders and I will continue using GE Silicone for my flowers. Thanks again!
