My friend Frances and I decided to make "Willow Globes" modelled after an image from the net and we were quite happy with the results - considering that we had never worked on structures like this before.
I imagine a few of these in different sizes could ad interest in the garden and I am going to place some among the woven willow trees I have planted in a garden bed for display along with some ornamental grasses.
This one is a big one, but smaller ones could also hang from branches under the canopy of a big tree, swaying in the wind.
If your garden is closed in you can just let a few roll around on the lawn, rolling here and there with the wind. But of course, you can also anchor them at certain desired spots on the lawn or in a flower bed.

ReplyDeleteRhonda, Willos Dane, and Alina - I am happy that you like my globe. I like it too, and will get more made in different sizes, but not till after the "great spring rush" here at Lakeshore Willows.
