Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Artist and designer Stockstill divides her book into the four seasons, though any of the lawn ornaments and patio containers can be made anytime. She starts with general instructions on tracing and transferring a pattern, painting, woodworking, antiquing, gold leafing, and working with copper patina. The spring projects include a rose umbrella planter, yard birds, rabbits, geese, and angels, a planter box, and a bench; the summer projects, flamingos, a trellis, a fountain, a sunflower bird feeder, a garden hose box, and a window flower box; the autumn projects, a planter, a bucket, and a scarecrow; and the winter projects, several pots and planters, and a wooden Santa complete with a white beard, black mittens, and a red coat. For each project--46 in all--there is a list of the materials and tools needed, detailed instructions, and a color photograph of the finished piece. George Cohen

5.0 out of 5 stars
easy and do-able,
By Becky R Bernard (Montrose, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Decorative Lawn Ornaments & Patio Containers (Paperback)
This book had very creative and unique ideas. It's just what I was looking for! The pictures were a great help and gave a good visual aid on how to use the projects. The instructions were very clear and having the per centages on how to enlarge patterns was great.
