I'm having fun making these little succulent gardens for my Eugene Saturday Market booth and upcoming Valentine Love The Arts Show. They are great for people who don't have a lot of space for a garden or aren't good with plants because they require so little care. I have a row in my kitchen window...they're so happy :) Too bad the dog knocked the stand over, turning them all upside-down, grrr...
Here's a few that I made last summer...

Comment by Cat Demkiw on January 29, 2013 at 2:30pm These are fabulous I really love them. What did you use for the water effect? Simply beautiful.
Comment by Esther Lee on January 30, 2013 at 3:39pm Thanks, Cat. The water is dyed resin that I melted and poured in last. On the oval one I had to add the boat quickly before it set.
Thanks, Ruth. Sadly, our dog knocked over the whole stand that these were on, turning them all upside down & breaking the urn & pink square one, grrr...I was able to redesign most of them, and I may be able to glue the urn back together. That was one of my faves too! Thanks for the great comments :)
