Ooooh Nooooo, now I want to make one! Yikes! ;-) I once made a "pot puppy" that I'd seen in a Southern Living magazine. It was a little doggie made entirely of clay pots. I even bought the fancy, dancy ceramic snipper dojiggers from Home Depot to snip out little doggie clay ears. OMGosh...he came out darling...many, frustrating days later...but I swore I'd never make another one! :-) Loved your commentary...too funny!

It may have been a pain to make, but it turned out great!<br /><br />I have a similar problem - I bought a gorgeous wreath a couple of years ago, and after I got it home I couldn't find anyplace to hang it! It was too fat for our front door, and too big for most of the areas in the house I could think of! So I think your solution of hanging it in front of the fireplace is great!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209533406055486161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462500305642907315.post-79013158241238262592009-11-04T15:23:32.150-06:002009-11-04T15:23:32.150-06:00I think it looks fantastic!

I bet it would have received a strict rating for language content, or perhaps Alberto would have made his first silent movie? Anyway, your wreath is truly, truly beautiful and voluptuous and celebratory. I prefer its fat, irregular shape with just a small doughnut-hole opening. I love it.

Found a bunch of old balls at the thrift shop, glued the tops on, etc. But I glued them to a wreath form instead of stringing them on a wire hanger. Hung the wreath outside on the front door. Looked brilliant. Had a rain a few days later, the colour on the balls all melted off and I came home to about 50 balls shattered on the front steps.
