Pedro. Very Very nice!! You really have the talent Klinger.
Joel

Pedro was the name that I heard in my head when I looked at him - then I read paws4pets post...really. I really like him.

if not Pedro, Pepe.

Mamacita and Pedro sitting in a tree,
K-I-S-S-I-N... errr... never mind...!

Cindy, you have real talent! Can we see his backside? ;) How tall is he? He looks to be about 18"? What recipe do you use?

Amazing!

~GC

Good morning, he is about 20". I will try and post a backside pic.Most of the detail is in the front though.I use the carving recipe from the Creating Concrete Garden Ornaments. It is one part portland, and three parts fine vermiculite.I used that for the figures I carved last year also.I am debating about staining, and drybrushing them when they have cured a bit more, I can't make up my mind. Perhaps I will experiment on a small pice first.Thanks for the Pedro name, it is perfect. I was at a loss for a name for some reason. I am now debating wether to add a child to the collection or perhaps a pet of some sort. Cindy

A funky little mutt dog would be cute.

And a cat.

And a few chickens.

And a goat.

OOh, I vote for Julio! He's so romantic! LOL

How about Manuelito? He's so cute!

I think they desperately need a burro...

Deb

I agree with Deb a burro.
Paws

A Burro!! Now that will be a challenge for me. I guess I can try and make a burro, and if it morphs into another animal along the way so be it, lol.Cindy

Mamacita, Papacita, and a burro. And mail them all to me. I will provide them with a mexican house and lots of cactus. And all the tortillas they can eat.
They're adorable!!!

I love him and his pouty little mouth....A burro would be kool and a saucy little rooster.Your work is truely wonderful!

Cindy, he's darlin'! Somehow I see him & Mamacita under a funky cactus with a little owl living in it...

He's absolutely great! I'd wait on the staining too! Get them in position and see how they look in the garden first.

Cindy, did you ever settle on a name for this guy? I'd love to see the set together--that's unless they're busy romancing somewhere... :)

I ended up calling him papacita, they are hanging out in my front yard. I am off to work now but will try and get a pic taken this weekend. Cindy

Klinger,you are amazing!!I love him.Please do a family portrait w/Mamacita of the muy grande.....citas.?..

A family! I must tell you how these things grow. Back in a former life, I knew a farmer who built a hay man by the roadside, using those huge round bales. The next spring, he had a companion, Mrs. Hayman. After four or five years, it was the Hayman family, with a little boy, little girl, and a small John Deere tractor, all made from hay bales.

You're embarking on a dangerous course, but I love it. Pedro works. He looks sorta like a Juanito to me, too. Definitely children, dog, cat, burro, and a CHICKEN.

Here's the couple in their new digs,

That's great Cindy!

Wonder what they are up to at night...under the full moon ...while you are sleeping ."Rocking" Out maybe.Geez,it's too early to be punny ,forgive me.I neeed more coffee.

Whenever I see them I think of that old Who song, "Squeeze Box."

Deb

These two are great! Good job.
