Title: Mr and Mrs Elephant Man Scarecrows
Post by: Squash64 on August 01, 2010, 19:13:39
Some of our Indian plotholders called me to take a photo of their scarecrows today.  I don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting the Elephant Man and his wife!  I couldn't stop laughing and they were the same.  They've even put a bindi mark on the wife's forehead. 
Unfortunately they have done them too late for the competition, which was judged yesterday.

Here they are, Mr and Mrs Elephant Man

Could that pair really frighten the birds? They're the cuddliest scarecrows I've ever seen!  ;D

After seeing Bettys handiwork I just had to have a go. When it was finished Tony and I decicded that it looked too much like the bloke over the road so we had to take it out with a bin bag over its head.
BTW his names Bert

It's Scarecrow Smith's long-lost brother Shirl!  Why don't you put him on SS's page on Facebook?
I love him, he looks really grumpy!

Those are all a scream.  It gave me the idea this might be a fun project to do with a grandchild.

Shirl, yours has  a beautiful garden to sit in. What a great picture!
