Lovely. As a side note, aquarium glue works beautifully as well, holds in wet weather as well as dry.

How long would they hold up under las Vegas heat I wonder? The epoxy?

@@trishelliottfriases9873 I"m not sure, I"m still waiting to see how well they hold up here in Florida. I am going to try marine epoxy next, it probably works even better and costs about the same.

So, so pretty! I seriously want to go glass shopping with you. That blue bowl is one of the prettiest I've seen. The stamens just finish the flowers off. Larry is a treasure. We should all be blessed with neighbors like him. His woodwork is gorgeous. Love your kitties. Your calico one just loves the camera. 😻 Just a idea. Have you thought about using a PVC coupling, or elbow to put in place of your hockey puck? My hsb is the one who suggested it. I've seen it done on the back of the glass flowers but I can't remember where. Then a piece of copper pipe is attached to it and put into the ground. The two pieces fit very well together and is good in all weather. Its just a thought. I think the copper pipe would be pretty once it oxides to a verdigre green. I've had such a good day watching several of your videos. Thank you for sharing your beautiful works of art. Blessings ~ 🌹 ( sorry for the length of this)

[@MyLittleSliceofParadise]

Thank you! I will have to check out the pvc and couplings to see how that will work. I'm always up for trying new ways of doing things! And yes, Larry is a treasure ♥
