Garden Art Review, Jan 21 2005
By Katelyn Thomas "Portrait Photographer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Garden Art: Delightful Projects for a Beautiful Outdoor Space (Hardcover)
If you'd like to enhance your garden with some art, you may want to take a look at the book Garden Art by Mickey Baskett. From a charming ladybug stepping stone to a wonderful bird house row fence, this book is filled with ideas to make your own garden art.As you look through the book, you will find that most projects include step by step instructions and patterns. My favorite project is a breathtaking butterfly doormat. The variety of projects, from cutesy to country, means there is something for every style of garden.
The book begins with a helpful section showing you stenciling techniques, how to prepare a surface for painting, and other paint related techniques. The majority of projects are painted, so this book may not be for you if you are looking for a way to add sculpture or other elements to your garden. However, there are several mosaic projects and a few metal and glass projects.
All in all, the book covers over thirty projects, with step by step instructions and clear photos.
It is nicely done and has several very unique ideas.
Listmania!
