Bright-white plastic was beginning to drive Linda Meek crazy. The flower lover could not stand to have her beautiful blooms and plant vignettes bumping heads with the distracting white supports attached to her hanging containers and pots.
Out of her frustration grew innovation.
“I started cutting those white things off and making my own hangers out of copper,” recalled Meek, an art director with Dearborn-based Team Detroit. “Then I thought, ‘Hey, I think I’ll put some beads on these.’ ”
The copper supports became so popular that Meek now sells them through her business, Wired On Pot . The Birmingham resident adorns each of her colorful creations with vintage beads from old necklaces and other pieces of jewelry that she finds at flea markets and Salvation Army stores. This Saturday, her artful hangers will be a highlight at the Yellow Door Art Market Garden Party from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. in Berkley.
“There are so many great things you can decorate your garden with,” said Royal Oak artist Holly Laginess, who owns By Golly By Holly . She also will be at the Yellow Door Garden Party, selling her artistic garden stakes.

Functional Art is so much more than your coffee mug. It can encompass furniture, clocks, jewelry, brooms, notecard, soaps, lotions and even fingernail files. Before you pick up a generic solution to your everyday needs, I want to invite you to stop by The Shops at Carousel Gardens and look for an artistic solution.
