Has anyone make garden art using old glassware to construct flowers? I'd like to try it, what glue is best?

Glassware is heavy, and I would like it to be able to withstand the weather a garden is subject to. I bought one flower and even though there is a LOT of side load on the adhesive, it holds terrific. Any hints on the glue would be appreciated.

    You need an epoxy based glue, you should be able to find an outdoor glue at your local hardware store. Be sure it says Clear on the bottle, some come out yellow and bubbly. You also need some fine sandpaper, sand the two areas you are planning on gluing together, the roughness makes the glue stick better than on a smooth surface.
