A story of piece of rusty chick wire and a glass pot

Remember my last post about the rusty chick wire I found? Here is the result...





And this is how I started...
a piece of rusty chick wire...

remove the sharp ones
coat with some white paint
wrap around a glass pot
(pitch the wire to have good fit around the glass curve)
fill up with some marble
actually I am pretty done at this stage...
but Mei Mei and Jojo add some 'finishing touch' to it after school..
with some beads garland I made for them earlier.
Add caption



we have some good time lighting it up at night

(P/S : note from Mei Mei - Mom, can you take away the candle
and fill in some water? - My beta fish want this for her castle!)

with priceless junk...

    It's adorable and I think Mei Mei's idea to give her fish a pretty home, is a good one :)
