A box of flamingos was gifted to me through a friend who’d had them first given to her. They seemed to be just what I needed for my summer display at Good Juju.
But first, the flock needed a group makeover. I sprayed them with a bonding primer, painted them with acrylic craft paints, then wired and glued flowers to their tummies.
Uhm, you might have noticed our grass. Or lack of it, I should say. My husband retired from working at the world’s largest country club company, so he knows grass and the principles of growing a perfectly groomed, lush expanse of it, but we just don’t care that much out here in the country. If I could, I’d have all ground covers, dandelions, and clover without a single blade of grass.
Anyway, back to my feathered friends- ta dah! Previously, I’d had some umbrellas with flowers in my booth, then used those for garden party decor.
After leaving them outside in a storm, they were done for. And of course, I can’t waste anything, so I pulled the flowers off and reused them on these gals.
I don’t know if anyone else notices the displays I create up high, but I sure get a lot of joy in making them.
Beautiful! I love them.
