is that a light bulb at the bottom?

no its a glass bubble. You buy them at WM. They come in blue/green and clear.

That is so pretty. Can you tell me again how you anchor the top? Do you drill a hole in the vase or is it just glued? thanks, Mayme

on this one I drilled holes in the vase and the clear glass plate and also I glued the plate down to the top of the vase so it would be extra secure(-:

Cindee, how about some tips on drilling the glass, what type of drill do you use and what type of bit. Is it hard to do?

Very nice, love anything blue, a hanging totem? thats a differeent twist on them, thanks for sharing
also just went thru your homepage great gardens, can I adopt your brother?

I am sure you can adopt him(-: He loves to weld and create cool things. He gave me a peace flower for my bday and I haven't gotten a pic for it yet but I will post a pic he took. I am going to put it in the yard and plant some pretty flowers in the bomb(-: He does have a sense of humor hopefully no one takes offense. I thought it was pretty funny myself(-:

I really like your hanging totems. With the cost of copper pipe these days, this is a nice alternative.

I drill a lot of glass, and I use the Black & Decker Glass & Tile bits. I also found that using a drop or two of vegetable oil makes the drilling go faster and keeps the bits sharper longer.

Also, I use an 18Volt drill, it works better than the 14.4 volt I used to have.

I use a black and decker cordless drill, its 18 volt also and I bought a small glass drill bit at Sears. I just sit and drill and relax cuz it takes a while to do it.(about 15 mins to drill through the vase) I also found that the thinner the glass the better chance you have that it doesn't crack. The thick heavy glass vases don't work as well. I don't push down hard either I just hold the drill in place and drill away. Basically the glass turns to powder and I just dump the powder every so often and continue drilling.I really think this is a fun craft to do. Drilling isn't hard it just takes time and it does allow you to make different things. (-:

what type of glue do you use...thee are beautiful annie

Blue glass AND rusty stuff!!!
My favorite things!

Just LOVE those hanging totems. I imagine those w/be the latest in garden stuff this spring. Absolutely love the rusty stuff too. Nice that you have support in the family for your hobby.

Gotta love the cobalt blue! And DH peace flowers! Did you say that is a bomb!? Too funny, actually I took one look at it and thought hey, that would look cool with glass glued to it!!! Ahhh, to have a welderman at my disposal....Lucky Duck!!!
