I make dragons, animals, figures and other interesting things, by sewing together color pipe cleaner stems. To date, i have made, and given away free, over 200 dragons, 400 pencil pals, 300 pencil snakes and 20 or more life cycles of various animals, bugs,tree’s and plants, plus many poems to go with each large item. It was an idea I had when I broke my right ankle and right wrist, three years ago. It has been therapy for me and fun for the recipiants of my items.
I do not charge any cost to anyone locally. It does me good to see the eyes light up, when they recieve such an item. I am now 74, retired and having so much fun with this hobby

The arbor is the perfect foil for the dragon. It also is an excellent disguise/diversion from the utility area beyond it. As for the Clematis - my philosophy is to give a plant 3 chances. Then, if it has died 3 times, I deemed it ungrowable in my garden.

It helps to be lazy. It’s a lot easier to stack old lumber in the garden and then reuse it, than to take the old lumber to the dump and then drag new lumber from the store!

Thanks for sharing the story of your fence project, Karen! It’s super that you were able to use recycled lumber for so much of it.
