No, we did not petrify Beyonce and toss her in the garden.
Instead, we did something a little more legal, and bought a concrete mold from
Gardening With Kids. This particular mold is called the
Garden Goddess, and you can buy the mold, with your first batch of concrete and dye for only $14.95.
Our first attempt at making the Garden Goddess ended up with the gal up top in the first picture. Yeah, she has a case of Michael Jackson nose- but I swear we didn't do it on purpose!
So, the kiddo and I tried again, and this time we got a somewhat decent nose. And she begged to paint it....
After I convinced her NOT to do a Rainbow Goddess, we settled on a somewhat "normal" Goddess, or as normal as you can get with red, pink and purple as your accent colors.
The end product looks oddly like Angelina Jolie. I have no idea where she will go in the garden.... but kiddo is pretty determined to have her placed before her bedtime.
Her final resting spot. I think she's kinda creepy.... I mean, if I walked along and saw a face popping up out of the soil I would kind be creeped out. Wouldn't you? But as usual, kiddo thinks she's BEAUTIFUL... so she stays.... *sigh*

Better in the yard than hanging on the refrigerator door! I kinda like it, though. (don't get any ideas!)
ReplyDeleteWhat was that Fred? You have one on your Christmas list? Sweet! I'll let her know :) haha.....

ReplyDeleteVery cool additions to the garden!
ReplyDeleteShe is creepy, but for some reason I want one in my garden.
