Scarecrows 1-4 A Retropsective (2007 - 2010)

2007 - Theme: Nursery Rhymes

This was our first effort in the village competition.  No frame or skeleton, just a big soft shape.  Not the first time we've reused children's wellington boots.

Humpty Dumpty - 2007

2008 - Theme: Children's books

For this effect we used a lot of Laurie's dressing up outfit that she had grown out of - the only year Caroline didn't really make the clothes.  Lots of grey dust sheet for face and arms.  However, we must have been doing something right as we won this year.

Peter Pan - 2008

2009 - Theme: Musicals

Bit of a theme stretch here, I think for some reason we wanted to do a disco queen and so we played the Mamma Mia card.  More grey skin...

Abba disco queen - 2009

2010 - Theme: Characters with animals

I think this was the year we really started to lose sight of reality and really started getting carried away.  In addition to the scarecrow we had 3 sheep all over the garden and roof of the house plus, the final outing for the grey skinned arms we had recycled 3 years on a run.

Little Bo Peep (& her sheep) - 2010
