They are great. If that is your beginning, I will be looking forward to many more posts. I really like the way you used shells inside the jar. I have kept all mine "naked" so far.

WONDERFUL JOB!!!

Exceptional for your first try. I love the way you chose your different pieces and put them together. Can't wait to see your next creations!

They look great! I've been thinking of doing something with all my dd's beach treasures and have been thinking of trying a bowl-like totem. This comes close to what I had in mind. Has anyone any experience with leaving totems out in the winter in the northeast? Is there any glass I might find that will hold up to the weather better than others? I really don't want to have to tote (pun intended) my totem in and out each winter. I realize that I would have to make in watertight.

Thank you VERY much for all the great comments! I had a ball making them,, and have a new one in the works.
Martha, I would think it would be best to bring them in, in the winter.. I would be heartbroken if they got broken in the winters here.

Love the totems! Great job, cant wait to see your next one.

Don't leave them outside if you have any freezing temperatures!
I put some in a covered barn for the winter (zone 5-MI) and anything that had any moisture in it, froze and then cracked.

It's not worth it! Think of moving them as your exercise! :)

BB, welcome to our addiction. LOL. Looks like you are well on your way, and having fun creating these.
Nice job.

hugs, Karen

Very pretty totems! My DH wondered a bit about my sanity at first, now he finds glass for me at yard sales! Maybe he's just resigned. LOL

Great pieces! Love the garden lady and I really like the idea of putting things within clear glass things. (Does that make sense? lol) I am trying to figure out a hat for my vase "head." I've looked at ceiling light shades, you know those half round glass things, but they don't have much of a "brim." How did you do yours? is it a bowl on a plate?

I'm looking forward to your next project!

Thank you Purplemoon, Luckygal, andluna llena feliz,
the brim on her hat is actually a clear glass salad plate, but I liked the design on it and you couldn't see it very well, so I painted the actually top of the plate with red enamel, I didn't even SEE the hat brim until I set it on top of that vase, then the wheels started to turn! FAST! LOL
We had a frost last night and one of the first things my hubby did was be sure my totems were secured in the garage!
What a guy!
A warning to you all, I have two more on the workbench drying right now! will be outside soon and pics to follow!

Oops, sorry Luna, it is a salad plate, then I had to look forever for the topper for it, I eventually found a small candle holder thingy. it was just the right size ,and shape. this took quite a while to find though..
