Many mini totems

Here are some pics of the mini-totems that I made trying to use up all my excess glass. They are quick, inexpensive and are sorta quirky cute. When I have my sale (?????)I want to have a variety of things in different price ranges. I know I hate to go shopping somewhere, where I can't afford anything.

GREAT idea!
I really like the blue one w/ the little girl!
I find those cute little figures (even on top of boxes) during "free-time" at my local weekly auction every week. After the auction, whatever is left is free for the taking. And bud vases are EVERYWHERE there. Never thought to use up the pieces that are too small/skinny for totems in this manner.
Thanks. |

| They're beautiful! It's hard to pick a favorite. I've made a few of those and put them on poles, long or short. I have some in my planted pots. |

| I have a collection of bud vases just for mini totems like these. I got a load of them at a church rummage sale last year when we filled up a shopping cart for $5. They are all so pretty but I really like the one with the 3 red cups. Thanks for the inspiration! |

| You HAVE been busy, haven't you?? Love all of them! I think the smaller ones are pretty neat...I've only made a couple, but I can hear my glass stash calling out even now! ;-) |

| Very nice, great for small gardens where a big 1 would overpower it! Pole totems make it simple to put in garden & take out to clean or store too!! Hope your sale goes well! Jan |

| Those are really pretty. I like the way you put them together, how one shape flows gracefully into the next, and I like the way you used the colored pieces. I saw some at a nursery in town made with the bud vases like that. I like that idea. Makes them easy to take in if you have to. I've notbeen too interested in the totems but I like these small ones a lot. |

I just came back for another look. They are so neat!
What do you think you will sell them for, just curious.
I am thinking I'd like to do a bunch with the same theme to put all in one garden togeter.

| froufrou...you have been BUSY! Your glassware choices are very beautiful...the shapes, colors & textures are very pleasing. I also see lovely "garden ladies" in some. How are planning to mount them? Copper pipe? I think one would be very lovely are just sitting in this window in front of the gardens! TFS pics! Jeanne S. |

I like these a lot!! They are similar to a few
that I have made.
When you have your sale, what price do you plan
to sell these small ones for? |

| You really may have to change your name to excesstotems! Just kidding, who am I to talk? ;-) Nicely done and best of luck with the sale. |

| I really like the Tiny Totems! Especially the little lady in the first photo between the green and blue ones. Nice job on all those, EFF. I have made a couple of little totems and find all sorts of places for them. I have enough big totems, but now I can still make them, just in a mini size. hugs, Karen |
RE: Many mini totems

Thanks everyone for all the kind comments. I'm still deciding on the price. I'm thinking between $8.00 and $15.00. It depends on if I set up somewhere or end up just having a sell in my yard. I only pay 35 cents for the bud vases at my TS and not more than a $1.00 for anything else in them, so they average about $1.50 each. Thanks again.

Here we go again! I tried using up all I could and told myself I was not going to make these for awhile (said the same thing with the plate flowers), then you come along with this!
I will never be able to stop the madness, thank goodness.
I really like these little totems. Perfect for small flowerbeds. |

| I am digging the red cups! I will have to be on the lookout for some cranberry glass as all my beds are red, black and white, and that would look smashing! |
