Watering Can "Morning Glory"

Just before Christmas I was asked to make a watering can as a Christmas present to a relative of my friend. It was suppose to be a present for an older lady that is why I made it in very traditional style. The friend did not want to wait until I finish varnishing and got another my watering can and I put this one aside for a while. Now with all this mild weather I started to think "spring! gardening!" and came back to this can. I added some shading, specks, finished varnishing and here we are! The first watering can of the season!

  8. I like the design, its beautiful. What kind of varnish do you use, can you really place this can outdoors and have water fall on it?

    1. This is a good point, Veena! I use yacht varnish on darker colours or Ronseal Diamond Hard varnish on light colours because yacht varnish is definitely yellowing. The volume of these cans is only 2.7L so they are more inside than outside things - for houseplants, conservatory, greenhouse or patio plants. I would not leave them to overwinter outside, but I am sure they could survive occasional shower!
