"Miss Metal" won first prize in the Individual/Family category at the Emlyn Physick Estate scarecrow contest in Cape May, NJ. Jeffrey and I made her together. We also put a scavenger hunt sign next to her with the following text.
CAN
YOU FIND IT?
Ok,
we'll start with a TEAPOT. I
know, that was way too easy! How about some KNITTING
NEEDLES? There are 5 of
them. What about a CANDLE HOLDER?
(Hint: its upside-down.) Two SCOURING PADS?
The kind that you use for really dirty pots! A HEART?
(aaaw...) A
CIRCUIT PANEL? (In other
words, that electronic looking thing.) A SOUP
CAN? (What kind do you think she likes?) A LOCK
and a few KEYS? Here's another
easy one. A STARFISH.
Oh my gosh, what's that THING
hanging in the middle of her body? Ok, here's a really hard one.
BEDSPRINGS! And how many
SPOONS is she wearing? Its a
good thing she always has her SEATBELT
on to keep her safe. How about a little BIRD
and a little FISH? She's even
ready for Christmas with a JINGLE BELL
and she has her hair done up in
PINCURLS. (Ask your Grandma what
those are.) I'm sure that you can find a lot more things that are
not even on this list, but we'll end this game with the biggest
ZIPPER PULL
that you have ever seen! So what do you have around your
house that you can make into ART?
She is now living next to our front door to welcome you the next time you visit us!
