Okay so I told you about the scarecrow competition in my last poat and just thought I would quickly show you a couple of pics or our entry!!

Elysia, (believe it or not Annabel's twin!)
cleaning up after painting more of
herself with glue than the balloons!! |
So there were just a couple I took whilst we were in the process of making the 'scarecrow' though I use the term very loosely as I don't think the end product would scare anybody!! The theme this year was books so we decided on 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' as we could incorporate some fruit from the allotment into it. We made the caterpillar out of paper mache balloons which were then painted and for the butterfly we sculpted a frame out of garden wire which we then covered with tissue papper and 'mod rock' for the body. There were some truly fantastic entries...unfortunately ours wasn't up there and in the league but we were quite proud of the finished item none the less.

Like I say we were rather proud of what we made but next year strive to do better!!
Unfortunately I don't have photos of the other scarecrows but if you would like to see them then follow this
link and you will find a link at the bottom of the page for all entries of this year. You never know you may find some inspiration for yourself in there!!

I think it looks brilliant. We often visit the scarecrow festival in Kettlewell, so much fun and you can tell that the village puts so much work in to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo...we were quite proud of it..even if the only place there was straw was on the floor..lol
DeleteVery colourful and the hard work (Enjoyable I hope) is there to see.
ReplyDeleteThe very hungry caterpillars that visit my plot tend to be have a more monochrome parent.
That's a winner in my book!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mal!!
DeleteI think that caterpillar looks quite scary.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should give him a go at scaring the birds Sue? Can't really see it working though!!
