Day 36

   Like so many around the world, my family and I have been under our own Stay Home orders but for us, we implemented it way before the government said so that is why it has been 36 days. 

   Last week, I took some of my so much free time and put to use the last of terracotta pots from my failed container gardening from 5+ years ago into creating this Waster bunny. Unlike all the previous ones that I created this will be for inside only.

   Here are some close-ups. Since it is for just indoors I did a lot of detail work. I love that large paper flower. It is from a peony wreath cut file from the Silhouette store. I used a lot of things that I had on hand to decorate, some things were 10+ years old.

   The large pom-pom that I used were created with the We R Memory Keepers pom-pom maker. I love that thing. 

   The buttons were from some old pajamas of mine that were 10+ years old. The lace was leftover material from a jean skirt that I made. 
   One thing about the stay at home order I was able to complete this 42" statue under a week.

It is Alive

   As of last week my big project is finally done. I decided to make a life size Frankenstein out of terracotta pots. I had 6 large pots hanging around the garage from the container garden fail from three years ago. When I started to work on this I had to buy another pot since one of them broke. 

   This thing is over 5' which means it is taller than me. As soon as October 1st. comes this will be  standing on the front porch. 
Supplies: terracotta pots, ribbon, adhesive, glitter and fabric. 

   Here is some closer shots. 

   I am most proud of how his face came out. I did it 100% by myself.

   His bolts were glittered.

   I am not too crazy over how the hands came out but figured it gave him the look of being put together in pieces.
   So what do you think is he scary or not. I say no my mom says yes because of his size.
