Lampshade Birdbath

Remember this?
It's a glass shade






We recently bought this stand for $13



It is now this



I used  dry clear silcone



pliers  prisms and rings



I attached a prism to the 
bottom loop of the pearl



I squirted silicone glue around the hole 



and put the pearl bead down in it to seal



I applied some silcone on the legs






once set where I wanted it
I applied silcone around
both the glass and on the metal arms

I attached prisms to rings and rolled them on the arms



we secured it in the ground with these hooks












From the porch



from the road



shade $10
stand $13
metal hooks $5
Prisms, pearl, jump rings and silcone I had on hand
Total cost $28
The shade I had is huge
and you can get smaller ones
at yard sales for $5







The Rivers


We sat in the plaza
where 2 rivers come together
The Ohio River 
and 
The Muskingum

We are  in Ohio
looking into West Virginia








we watched barges with coal go by






swimmers






tube skiing






Kayaking



Boating



 and Wildlife















It was a great way to spend an evening
