    I live in an area with frequent hail storms, large sized hail at times. I am thinking of watching for cute plastic style bowls that look like glass. I have seen them at dollar stores, discount stores, etc. I think less risk of broken glass all over the place due to a lot of the weather extremes we face here.

      Great idea! Plastic would work.. where do you live that receives a lot of hail?

      I live on Vancouver Island and glass reflecting on dry grass can start fires, not to mention wind or squirrel.

      There actually are some pretty melamine plates that would be durable and colorful and non-reflextive.

      Wouldn't they melt in the summer heat? I live in the far southwest of the US.
      Santa Fe, NM. It gets HOT here. We're in a severe drought, so my flowers are going to be glass. I just hope they don't magnify the sun, to catch the dry grass on fire. That's ALL we need. In the meantime, I'll keep them on the deck or our patio in pots until I'm sure they don't. Another reader said they would. I don't know. I hope how ever you make your garden art, that it works for you. 😊

    Your glass art is MY favorite. I live in Santa Fe, NM. We're in a severe drought, where everything is bone dry. We lost several trees and plants this yr, so much so that we're going to have to re landscape with drought resistant trees and plants plus hardscape. I want to make this type of glass garden art in the meantime at least to put on my patios and walkway. I have to be careful where I put these, so I don't burn anything down. I never thought of that until another person mentioned how the sun can magnify off dry grasses and catch fire. I'll be careful. Its something that everyone should be aware of. In the meantime, I love glass art. Thank you so much for sharing how to make these beautiful pieces! Blessings ~ 🌹

    Absolutely stunning!! Wonderful work! I only have 2 concerns, one, as mentioned by a previous commentor, broken glass from storms, the second is the potential for fire from the sun shining through the glass. While the sparkle is beautiful, perhaps a slightly more shaded, protected area. It might get a bit hot for the birds, out in full sun as well.

      I had a hanging crystal and a few other hanging glass fancies in a southern exposure window for years. I added two other crystal trophies on the window sill. Not even two weeks later I thought I smelled a camp fire but didn’t think more about it till dusting next morning. The sun had focused through a crystal golf ball and burned into window sill easy quarter inch deep in the size of a quarter! Really burned not just charred! Needless to say they were moved to northeastern window immediately! I’m not sure if it has to be ground a certain way or any real lead crystal would do same. The hanging crystals were faceted but much less in cut surfaces! They remain in southern window but of course I’m aware now and hopefully I’d catch any changes after none for years!

    Very, very pretty and nice. I'm gonna try to make one like that. We have lots of squirrels. Live out in the country area. A lot of squirrels have a huge oak tree in my backyard and I thought I could hang someone on the lower branches and the top bowl would keep the squirrels from getting to the bird feeder. That would be a good idea. I could do a bird feeder in a water bath once for food in one food water. Thank you for what you do
