Little Boy - finally finished!

19 years ago

Do any of you remember this "little boy" garden figurine? I got him on sale because he was missing some pieces - he was supposed to be holding a kite, and at the bottom, there was supposed to be a little "lid" for that opening...and it had a dog on it. (opening is for keeping a key).


I posted some WIP's of him....but he has been sitting (since MARCH!!) waiting for me to give him his missing "parts". Finally found a little dog to put down at the bottom, and I made him a "baloon" to hold. So he's finally finished - and here's a pic:




And a couple of close-ups:

    How sweet!! You did a great job on his cute little overalls. What did you make his balloon from? Looks so real and the red color is the perfect touch!

    curb, ronnie, janie, thank you!

    curb...the balloon is a small lightbulb, which I painted red and topped it with several coats of exterior gloss varnish. Hope it lasts...I have no clue if it will - what do you guys think?

    ronnie....LOL....your flower beds are currently imaginary...love it.

    Now I have more inspiration...How cute is that little fellow!!!! I'll have to keep an eye out at rummage sales for figurines like that. I would have never thought to mosaic something like that. What fun it is to see what other people see that we don't. Way to go....

    I remember seeing this when you started, and loved it then. He turned out so cute, and adorable! The balloon and puppy were the perfect additions, too. Such a precise job on the grouting.

    Well now. That's just the cats meow!
    You did a wonderful job on him. Nope. I don't think you could hide a key anywhere near this kid. He's too eye-catching now!!
