Garden Art

The colors in this stepping stone would pop out and complement a healthy garden, but this looks too good to step on!

This seems a nice place to sit down.

This frog on a lilly pad would look wonderful in the midst of white yellow or blue flowers, especially if it were to cover up a bald spot in the garden.

I love the emotions and positions of these geese. I also like how natural they would seem in a garden; that they wouldn't seem lifeless or eerie like a monochromatic clay boy.

These frogs have character, and their texture matches their pot. I like how subtle and inviting they are.

Just the idea of a turtle pot is charming. I would have put a smirk on him, but this turtle is nicely crafted.

This bird bath is very well done. The textures in the bowl along with the mosaic make it seem like a treasure.

I love the idea of seashell stepping stones, especially if the location is near a beach.
