Title: Photo of my scarecrow
Post by: Squash64 on July 24, 2009, 16:27:25
I finally finished making my scarecrow for this year's competition and took it to the allotments today.  It is about life-size so I sat it on the passenger seat of my car and got some funny looks at the garage when I stopped to put petrol in the car.

My scarecrows always look alike because I make their heads out of old tights, rather than use a mask like some other people do.

He is sitting at the notice board near our gate, pointing to the scarecrow notice.

Well we will have to come and meet him Betty. At least he doesn't look as scary as the one someone has near to your plot ;D

It's one of those shaggy scarves - I cut off one piece for the hair and another for the beard.
