The other day I noticed that there was a piece of mini-orb in the driveway. DH had brought it home from the tip or dump. Then we were discussing a window hood for our room which cops alot of afternoon sun. We have a house that is built between 1900 and 1930 so we thought we could use the iron or mini-orb for the hood or awning.

We didn't have enough so today dh went back to the dump, and fortunately there was a heap there. Now to find a design.

Mini-orb was used in alot of old houses and sheds here and is back in fashion with a permanent color on it in the shops.

When that type of scrolled work is used in the states on porch post and roof pitches we call it gingerbreading! Love it
