Olive Scarecrow

Husband asked me to make a scarecrow since he always sees the sparrows hanging out in the garden patch in the morning. We don't have many sprouts coming up yet and we don't want them to be eaten.

I put her together with things I found around the shop. Some old electric conduit that we dug up a couple weeks ago with some duct tape made a nice frame. Luckily I had some clothes destined for Goodwill that hadn't headed over yet that I dressed her in. Her head is half of an automatic dog waterer that the people we bought the place from left.

I'm calling her Olive. I think she looks more friendly than scary but hopefully the birds don't think so. We'll have to wait and see. I don't want to have to change her name to Olive Soothecrow.
