I'm so pleased with what I received in the mail today that I just had to get my cheap digital camera out of the cupboard and share this with you! The pictures aren't the best; hopefully once these are installed in my garden (think months *sigh*) I'll borrow a decent camera and get some nice shots.
This shows the whole thing. It's a scarecrow on a stake and eight garden markers to put in my vegetable garden. The scarecrow stands about 3 feet tall. It has straw for the hair and the hands. At least, there was straw on the hands but it broke off in shipping. SoSweet sent extra straw for me to fix it incase this happened. Wasn't that thoughtful!
This is a closer shot of the scarecrow. You can see that he has a sign hanging from his shoulders. I'll have to get another shot of this sign, because I think it's the neatest thing! It has little vegetables on it, molded out of polymer clay and painted. I can't believe what a detailed job she did!
This is an even closer shot which shows a little of the painted details. The collar says "Scarecrow on Duty."
Here are some of the garden markers. I had to use some houseplants to hold them up for the picture! She made ones for corn, peppers, tomatoes, peas, beans, beets, onions, and carrots, and each one has a detailed picture of the vegetable!
Since this was close by, I thought I'd also show you the lovely garden marker Witchy sent me last year. I just COULDN'T leave it outside for the winter!!! It says, "A wish spoken from the heart is a seed planted in the soil." Isn't it wonderful? I keep it in my greenhouse!
