Scarecrow Build

So, after being inspired by Pumpkinrot with his latest props, I built a scarecrow today with some old branches I had saved. I tried to make it as simple as possible. Sometimes I don't know when step away from a build, but I am pretty happy how it turned out. A candle fit in the gourd's mouth for nighttime. After the photo shoot by a pond I messed around with different heads and liked how the Target skull looked. This will probably be the main prop in the graveyard this year. Unless I make something cooler...We'll see.

  3. And I could not make up my mind about hat or no hat. I had a top hat too but I'll save that for another scarecrow.

  5. Thanks G6! Funny, I was looking at her tonight when the dogs were out and started messing with her hands. I put a lantern in the hands and took pics.

    i've been thinking...
    have you ever, maybe, considered, making her (Ruby) a boy of her own?..that way she would have someone to Enjoy the sunrises & sunsets with.. :)

  7. Good idea, I am planning to make more scarecrows for this haunt. might as well make her a mate. I've never seen two scarecrows guarding a plot together.
