A little while back a gardening friend I know (Tess) posted a picture of a "Pot Lady" on Face Book that I fell in love with.
(I don't know the source of this so I can't give credit)
I've been wanting to make one, but haven't as of yet, so I decided I'd share some pictures of the one Teresa made and a couple of others I've seen on the internet.
Teresa says it was a bit harder than she imagined to make it. She ended up buying a special drill bit to drill through the terra cotta on the sides for the arms and legs. This life sized pot lady weighs a small
ton too! (Sounds like me!)
Viewing her from the side (she's built like me!)
Aren't her fancy gloves cute!
You can see the holes coming from the size of the pot for the legs. She used a nylon rope for longevity and lots of knots to assemble it.
A few people have suggested she should build a Pot Man to go with her, but she's not convinced!
If you'd like to see Tess's gardens I featured her
yard last year on my garden blog.
Here is the link "Gardening with Tess"
You can see the shed where the Pot Lady sits next to in the far back. Tess's lives in Virginia and has quite
a green thumb! Check out that link and see her beautiful back yard and gardens!
Here is another one I found one day while browsing the web for some plant information.
Isn't that adorable and I love how it's set on this wagon with all the neat accents!
Recently another blogger Gail from
posted her "Pot Lady" which is adorable too!
Gail even gave a tutorial on how she created it!
Here is the link to her post
As you can see you can make them look however
you want and go big or small!
One thing nice about these "Pot Ladies" or
" Pot People" is that as they age they will only
develop more character
" Pot People" is that as they age they will only
develop more character
(kind of like us!)
So my mind has "gone to pot" but I guess it's
better than "gone to pieces"!
I know that was terrible!!
