Look at the picture here. Is it an art, a craft, or a hobby? This neat decorative fountain was given to me by son, Ted, and daughter-in-law, Tracey. Whoever it was that came up with this project did some cool thinking. They have taken an unusual piece of tree limb, actually 2 or 3 pieces of tree, and arranged them in an attractive way. A pitcher pump has been added. A small electric fountain pump has been included with the tube running through the spout of the pitcher pump. A nice-sized bucket catches the water that falls from the spout of the pump when the cord is plugged in. Several artificial flowers and plants have been added to enhance the appearance. All of this is sitting on a piece of plywood covered with artificial grass.
I have seen a great variety of designs and styles of these, and perhaps you have, too. They seem to be popular at flea markets and other events where things are sold. As you can imagine, no two are alike.
If you are interested in making money from your crafts, this might be a project you would want to consider.
