These look great - I haven't seen them in the UK though

Julie Gant's curator insight, April 10, 7:24 AM

Great ideas!

Laura Brown's comment, April 12, 12:12 PM
@DIY Doctor - The might be a North American thing. They used to cover the wooden spokes of the electrical poles - wires would wrap around the glass hubs. They are fairly heavy for their size, a thick glass. Sometimes I can still find them in the ditches around train tracks in the middle of nowhere. They were much easier to find years ago. Now everything is "collectible".
