My husband and children each designed a side of this obelisk along with their name "signed" on it. It was then cut and welded. What a treasure! Seriously, I almost cried. What a perfect thing for our garden. Thanks again all of you. xoxo

may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought."

They made a Green Man sculpture a couple of years ago. I planted a vine that we are trailing through so the idea is that over time it will look like a plant man.
And this is a flower that my brother-in-law made. Hurray for gardens!

NICE POST!
Lovely indeed.....I want a butterfly. I have one in the garden already but obviously you know who does this work? I will take a photo of mine and send it to you. Can you pass the design onto the iron smith and get a "quote" for me....I love this type of thing in the garden and when it has rusted I even love it more. Karin Lynn
