Scarecrows!

[Hazel at the Hill]

At the Hill this year, we've had a scarecrow competition, which I found terrific fun! My Grumpy George came second, with Lady Muck (complete with papier machie giant carrot) coming first.

I thought I'd stick a few pics up...



Here's Grumpy George (above)









... some of these look uncannily like their plotholder owners ...

..and a few more





And finally, the winner, Lady Muck...

A nice collection of happy smiling scarecrows

Very impressive!

I'd love to see if we could do something similar on our plots!

As for George... as Ann Widdecombe so nearly said I think 'there is something of the Reich about him'!

Love them. What are the heads made of? Papier mache? (I want something for school that will survive the weather: we currently make heads out of stockings filled with plastic bags)

Grumpy George's head is made of an old cotton shopping bag. I sewed a round shape with a narrow neck and cut off the excess & turned inside out. Stuffed with newspaper. His body is an old pillowcase stuffed with newspaper.

Lady Muck's head is stuffed with straw, I noticed the other day.

I thought this was a really good competition idea.

Oh, they are fab!

There's a village near us that has a Scarecrow competition some years. Some of them are great, too!

You've got to admit she's got green fingers and her flowers are lovely
