GIFTS - Given to me by Detta - Mandrakes

Hello Everyone!

Hope all is well at your home.

Thank you for your sweet comments!!

 

I was going to post on the 17th,

but remembered that it was

the anniversary of my daughter's

passing.

Have just now got around to doing it.

 

 

Detta sent me 2 mandrakes so I planted

them!

Thank you Detta!!!

 

Had to make them look like they were

popping up out of the pot!

I wanted the dirt to look like it

was coming up in clumps.

I painted both pots black and used

dark brown clay.

I was not sure of how to do it, so just

did the best that I could to get the

idea of it.

 

Looks like potatoes but I love them!

Love their eyes and nose and their

branchy arms and hands!

This mandrake still has more dirt to push

out of the way cause he is a big one!

 

 

Where is he going to go to once he

gets out of that pot!!!

 

As you can see - I do not work

good with clay at all!!!

 

Do mandrakes bite you?

 

Here is the other one.

He is much smaller than the first one

I have shown!

I put pumpkin stickers around the bottom

of this potted mandrake.

He may be small but he is strong pushing

that dirt up!!

 

As you can tell - I really packed the

dirt up an around him!!

I packed the back of the pot with clay

so much that you can hardly see the

pot!!

Sorry, this pic is a little blurry so do not

click on it.

 

I like this pic from the top!

His arms are free!

 

Boy - these mandrakes are messy!!

I did have fun playing with them though.

 

Must find a place to put them.

By the way - where do you put them at?

In a garden, on a table.

 

Thank you for stopping by!
