Scary vegetables

Wordless Wednesday

Combat veggies

I found this photo on the net and I just loved it!

I love how the artist has made the vegetables look both insect-like and menacing at the same time.

This weeks theme is Creative

We went to an outdoor art show here in Toronto about two weeks ago and we found a metalworks artist that, I swear, I wanted to buy all of his pieces!

I love this propane tank pig. Isn’t it cute? The only problem was that it wasn’t cheap. Otherwise I might very well have ended up coming home with one or more interesting pieces for our garden.

I love this piggies curly tail, don’t you?

This weeks Theme is Fake

IMG_0196

When I saw this weeks Photo Hunters theme I thought to myself “what can I photograph that represents fake”. I had no idea. Sure, I could have done some obvious things, but I like challenging myself.

Luckily, my husband and I some time on Saturday to go to Toronto’s 40th annual outdoor art exhibition. My nephew just graduated from the Ontario College of Art – specializing in photography and he had a booth at the art show where he was showing his photos.

He never even shows his immediate family, his parents, his photographs, so we figured it might be years before we’d get another chance to see his fabulous photography so we went to the show.

I had no idea it would be so large! There were 500 artists exhibiting everything from photographs to sculptures in wood, glass, clay, and stone, pottery, paintings, prints, metal artwork and many other forms of art.

I brought my new SLR camera with me and as luck would have it I found some “fake” artwork that would be perfect for the Photo hunter theme.

Now, I know I’m behind in posting my photo hunter photos (on three sites) but I think I found great items to post.

The photo above is of watering cans. Clay or pottery sculptures. They are not functional but they are lovely aren’t they?

I took a lot of great photos on Saturday, many of which will be perfect for this site – funny garden related sculptures. You’ll love them. Watch for them in upcoming posts.
