Last weekend I got a lot done! These are some things that G1 and I painted. I have had the garden stakes for years and have been afraid to paint them because they were so plain! Where were the eyes going to go? What about legs, or a mouth? It was open for me to interpret and it scared me. Well, trying to live by Yoda's wise words of "Try not. Do or do not; there is no try" I decided to just start painting and see what happened, like any kid would do and how G1 did paint his butterfly. Well, I could not be happier with the results! It's probably the cutest frog since Keroppi! One of the things I am most proud of is the fact that my frog is not perfect and symmetrical and I'm not bothered by it!
Yes there is also a candy corn there. It will most likely be part of a Halloween frame. I don't have said frame, but why wait until then?
*I just got an amazing geeky idea for the back of the stakes. (Does anyone else think of Buffy when stake is mentioned?) Good thing I have not sealed these yet!*
i love your decorative garden stakes! How cute. I would love to tackle this project as I am starting a garden this year. Eek! Wish me luck!
