Thought I'd try totems too and have been collecting for awhile now. Here are my first two. Sure had fun making them and trying all the different combinations.

    Addictive, aren't they? LOL. I like the bird topper, and neat find on the pink pieces. Tho that big purple piece in the middle of the second one sure caught my eye.

    cadonna, A+ on totem school 101!!!!!! Wow, those are so pretty and I love the bird on top of the first one! The second one is so pretty in your garden with the colors and I really like the silver piece for a topper! Man, if these are your first ones, can't wait to see whats coming next! I 'm pretty sure you are on a roll!!!

    You must have painted those yellow ones, didnt you? I cant believe you found such perfect matches. They are just beautiful. I love them both. I never seem to get any colored glass, I must not get up early enough. Keep 'em coming, you have a new talent.

    Thanks so much for the totem encouragement! I did enjoy the experience and want to try to do a few more soon. I used mostly old lamps I found at GW and the big purple piece was a vase and it was purple day at GW so it was $1!! The yellow pieces in the 2nd totem weren't painted. One was a lamp base and the other, kind of plaid looking one, was the bottom of a ceramic easter egg someone had given me one year. I do have to say i love the little bird too. I have another little blue one to use someday too. Thanks again for looking and the kind words!!

    I am partial to the pink one with the bird ...well, I love birds and pink! The second one is very striking - nice choice of colors. Love the shapes you put together. They flow very nicely. Do you have them anchored to something or a bigger bottom piece hidden beneath the mulch? I just hope they don't tip over and break!
