I enjoy edible, decorative gardening and this will add a little bit of imaginative fantasy...thank you for this post; great picture! I love recycling...it can be a beautiful thing! I transform soup cans in to modern decoupage decor. I have created an etsy shop called "Eco-Friendly Freckles" where I sell these functional, affordable works of art that work great as candle votives, pen and pencil holders, and make great gifts for containing candies, cookies and trinkets! Please check out my blog for more information. ;-) I love the idea of using tea cups as hanging flower pots in my garden; this will add a lovely, whimsical (Alice in Wonderland) look to my backyard.

They're lovelier than those plastic bowls, plus, they don't tend to get worn out. I have also used a ceramic teapot with a broken handle as a pot for a water plant.

People donate plates, cups, serving pieces, etc. and we add donated desserts to them, then auction them off. Lots of people like the odd pieces and some pick what they are hungry for based on what its container is like! We use old, odd pieces of china when we hold charity dessert auctions.

Once in the 80's a group of us wore the cups or saucers as bra tops as part of our costumes for a performance art piece celebrating madness and tea parties. They stayed on very nicely and weren't all that uncomfortable. I’ve seen lovely the cups made into really pretty candles.

Just break the china apart and sort them into piles by color, texture or your favorite bits. Then play around with the mosiac pattern until you have something you love, and then cement it in place. It will be a beautiful way to re-cycle for a whole new set of items.
