A Redesign

I can't help it!  I can't do one thing and be done.  Remembered when I moved my bottle tree?  (Making room for my dragon) Well, I didn't like it after it was moved so I added some limbs, gathered some more bottles, dynamite wire, soldering wire, glitter, and paint
Instead  of hanging the bottles upside down, as is standard, I turned mine right side up but not before some changes. 

I covered the opening with foil to avoid paper wasp building and water standing.  I added paint and glitter inside the bottle.  The bottle chose its own look by the way the paint ran. The glitter is very sparkly in the sunshine.

The tops were wrapped in soldering wire or dynamite wire for hanging.  The soldering wire is very easy to bend and adds some shine to the look.  The dynamite wire is thinner and plastic coated.
I added my holey rocks or Crone Stones or Fairy Rocks...whatever you prefer.  Legend is you can look through these holes and see the fairies in their realm.
No bottle washing for me.
That will be up to Mother Nature.
The top bottle is soldering wire, the bottom dynamite.
Even Hubby asked how those bottles turned that color!
I added Dad's spark plugs since I had a bucket full from cleaning his shop.
I think it's an improvement.
I may change it again tomorrow.

Sometimes, I Mess Things Up.

I guess, I'm just talented that way.

During my redesign of my two, yes, two blogs, I changed the address of Familiar Spirit, sadly, I have lost many commenters.  Some think the blog is gone because the connection was changed in my ignorance to "improve" things! I am not sure if you have to re follow to make a connection...in these things, as in many, ignorance is not bliss...it's a pain!

If you are a past follower of Familiar Spirit, please try my new address...the old posts are still there.  I try to do one photo, one line a day...just a little warped animal humour if you're interested.

I can not take the credit for the redesign of my blog, except for messing up the address.  I cheated. The Blue Ridge Gal, Diane did it, I must confess.  Diane, handy as a pocket on a shirt,  helps lots of people with computer design and computer problems.  Diane has a delightful blog with great photography, two boxer dogs and a handsome husband...and sometimes she even sings for us!

Tell her, Gail sent you!  Enjoy.
