Garden Angel workshop
The Garden Angel Workshop has as it's main
focus a "lively spirit" protecting the pot from enemy
insects, drought and the other things that seem to come after
plants and herbs.
Garden angels are constructed from wood scraps and dowels ...
rusty bottle caps and finally decorated with paint and gold leaf.
Painting the face can be the most challenging part as some smearing
of the features keeps it from looking human! |
