A clove hitch

• Drill
• Piece of wood

1. In order to drill holes into the compact disks you will need to secure them to something. 
1. Use the bulldog clips to attach each of the compact disks to the drilling board [the wood].
2. Drill a hoe into the compact disk.
3. Thread the twine through the hole in each disk.
1. Do the first, knot it off with a clove hitch,  space it so there is distance between the first and the second.  Do the same for the third, fourth - until there is no more.
4. Hang these up in the garden to frighten the birds away.

hose basket illusion

What a terrific Idea for old hoses.  Might take years to complete. The plastic plants line the inside rim. As one walks up to, then under,  this hanging basket the illusion of a big basket FULL of flowers evaporates. So even as you are looking up through into the base of the basket the ilusion that it is still full to over flowing with plant life [abit plastic ones] is reinforced even as you walk away. 

The basket frame looks to be just 0.75 cm metal and has as been welded together with hioses threaded through to make the basket. The basket measurements are about two [2] meters wide by roughly one [1] meter in height from the base.

The base is strips of metal stuff [as seen in picture looking through the base to the top] weaved together adding to the overall strenght of the basket.

This basket is definately both an visual [optical] and a psychological [mind] creating a cognitive state of opposing views.
