This is my new hypertufa garden friend....
His eyes are those green gems...they have a nice sparkle. He is going to hang on the fence over my new trellis.

He reminds me of Aslan out of The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe!!! Beautiful job Anna and those green gem eyes set the whole thing off to perfection.

Thank you!
I just finished hanging him on the fence. I can't wait until the vines grow up around him so it looks like he's peeking out. I've thought about painting him, but I do like the stone look!

Nah don't paint him please Anna or it could spoil him. He's just perfect the way he is.

Don't worry...I couldn't, I think it would have made him look cartoonish  . It would have stripped him of his dignity.
