I love to garden and I love making art. I have discovered a way to do both with a little thought and ingenuity and not much cost.
Finding a large vacant ants nest in the middle of my garden, recently, made me think of ways to use it as a feature and I decided an artwork was what I needed.
As I didn’t want to spend much, I started searching all the local council tips for inspiration.
I was looking for some interesting piece of metal work to reuse when I came across some old bicycle wheels for $7.00. Two were the same size and one was smaller so I bought them, not knowing what I would do with them but knowing they would somehow enhance my garden.
I played with the smaller one and attached it to the rim of the larger one by a bolt that allowed movement. Each of these cycle rims had no spokes. The third cycle was intact and I balanced the two onto its’ centre. Here I did get some help as a friend kindly welded a bracket to hold it all together.
This is my new garden sculpture that I call “Life Cycle”
I find adding artwork to the garden gives it more personality.
