I had a corner of my garden that needed some color this spring. I saw some garden totems made of glass, but I wanted something with more color. I scavenged garage sales, thrift shops, and my own home and came up with this interpretation of my own. It gives my dull corner some brightness until the flowers start blooming. You can see a photo on my gardening blog under "Totem, Love'm":

Wow! This is too pretty to leave outside. I think I would find a place inside to use it! :)
How colorful, and very creative of you. Thanks for sharing!
I collect teapots and i think this is a wonderful recycled project. I dont have a garden but I am thinking with some of my mini teapots this would be cute in a windowsill garden.
It's not easy to inspire me but this did! Where's the glue!
This is absolutely gorgeous, I can't wait to make theses with my girls. Thanks for sharing it.
This totem pole is terrific. I love it and am already on a scavenger hunt to find items I'd like in mine. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.

Love this idea, but where on earth did you find the cute face pot?
LinnieB: The head planter is a "lola planter" she was popular a few years back but terribly expensive online. I found her last year at Meijers for a much more reasonable price, but you could probably make her too fairly easily.
Sooo Excited! I'm making one....What type of glue or adhesive did you use?
This is absolutely adorable! I especially love it because you used tea pots, which is one of my favorite drinks! This is a lovely idea.
Creativity taken to the limits!
I love this kind of art. Your Garden Totem is wonderful. I will be making one of these with my Grandchildren this summer. What a fun project.
I don't even have a garden and I want one!!! Your Totem is awesome.I used to live in the Northwest and have seen real totems, Yours is right up there with the best of them!
