As for wood...too bad I don't know anyone with wood skills! <br /><br />I do love the idea of nothing, and that was my initial go. But when bound together the extra tension causes the hooks to go sideways, loosing that nice triangle effect you get when they're upright. However you've got me thinking that maybe by putting a small (notched?) triangle in the center that might stabilize them, without being visually detracting. Hmmm....danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-79989962776365264962016-08-12T08:48:32.819-07:002016-08-12T08:48:32.819-07:00Thanks Evan, our posts were timed to go together!Thanks Evan, our posts were timed to go together!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-90440171126261669492016-08-12T08:48:09.686-07:002016-08-12T08:48:09.686-07:00I think Tillandsia care intimidates quite a few pe...I think Tillandsia care intimidates quite a few people. Indoors I just soak them in the kitchen sink once a week and then turn them upside down to drain/dry so the center doesn't rot. Outdoors I am sure to mist, or spray with the hose, every few days. I'm not so concerned about rotting outside because our summers are typically rather dry.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-80162584945587417942016-08-11T21:24:02.357-07:002016-08-11T21:24:02.357-07:00I love where you plant crushes take you!

My first thought when I saw the cap/connector was that some sort of 'gear' might be pretty interesting just to add a bit of industrial texture. I'm probably using the wrong term, but I'm seeing a circular, rust color piece with toothed edges.

Boy, the Dichondra and Aeonium construction on the garage looks amazing, too. Thanks for being so inspiring.<br />My gut feeling was the same as Alison's about painting the cap the same orange as the hooks so that it looked like one, unified piece and blended in. Maybe a rusted patina will do the same integration.tvojthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05481184445956506127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-61698410145272996762016-08-11T12:29:44.941-07:002016-08-11T12:29:44.941-07:00I'll ignore the pie pan abuse because you put ...I'll ignore the pie pan abuse because you put it to very good use. :)<br />I agree with you on the "spray can lid" and have a couple of suggestions, both involving some "natural" materials instead of metal -- maybe metal just isn't right there? How about wood? A little cylinder of wood (or cube, or triangle) might be just the complement the rest needs. Or even simpler: nothing! Remove the metal part completely, then bind the three hooks together (so they're all touching).
