Garden Princess Makeover

Posted in Sculpture, Serendipity, Workshop/Retreat, tagged Garden Princess on May 22, 2019| Leave a Comment »

I brought my Garden Princess in for a make-over. She’s looking better. (You can read about her creation here.) I didn’t take her in over the winter so she was a little worn but now she’s good as new. And since we have an upcoming workshop for making these cuties I wanted her to look her best. Why don’t you join us on Saturday, June 22nd at 2 pm to make one for your flower or vegetable garden. They add a splash of color and whimsey to every garden. Click here to learn more and register.
