Repurpose old dishes into garden art

MOSES LAKE — Somewhere in everybody’s kitchen, there are dishes that just don’t match anything else in the house. So why not put them to work in the garden? “You can do it in any way, shape or form that you want to,” said Micha Goebig, PR and Communications Strategist for Evergreen Goodwill of Northwest Washington. “You can use your own stuff or get it secondhand at (a thrift store).” Thrifted garden art from mismatched dishes is easy to put together; the only thing you need is super glue, Goebig said. She recently led classes in thrift art at Goodwill stores on the west side, she said. “Some people did art pieces, like mushrooms,” Goebig said. “They (had) a broken lamp, so they used that as the stem of the mushroom and then replaced the top with a nice bowl that they turned (upside down).”
