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

    Thank you! :-D

    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!

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