It's almost nice out here in WI! The public art I put out is a couple of stained glass plant stakes and a spinning stained glass whirl. The location is at the road in this box I made from pallet wood leftovers (from siding my She Shed) I plant some annuals and perennials in the mail box box and rotate decor seasonally. It's technically not on my property (public) I got sick of replacing my mailbox every couple years when the plow takes it out - we are on a bend in the road and I don't think they can see the curb - but they can see my Giant wood box.
I used to do stained glass as a small business and have many years of experience. Otis may have an older farm house with stained glass windows that need repairing 😉 (it's common in my area for the older homes to have original stained glass windows in them)
