Every once in awhile I love to start a project with a round shape, not the traditional rectangle or square, for the substrate. I covered the round with a rusted coffee filter.
Awhile back I had purchased this Minnequa Flax Water Bag because I could not believe how cheap it was considering its antiquity. These bags were made to keep water cool in hot weather conditions. They might have even been used to put water into radiators of old cars running in the heat. They had great graphics but mine have all faded to the point where you almost can't see it.
This is what the bag could look like if it survived
Lately I have also been buying a lot of old vintage lawn sprinklers. Of all the ones that I purchased, this is the only one that is square.
This garden hose sprinkler was enhanced with these images
Thus we have Water of Love. After I knew I was going to use the sprinkler I was in the basement looking for other parts when the Dire Straits' tune Water of Love came to my lips so that is the name of this piece. It is 21"H X 21" X 2"D. It consists of a Wood Round, Minnequa Flax Water Bag, Square Water Sprinkler, Garden Hose Sprinkler, Drill Storage Box, Stone, Crystals (3) and Nails (24).
