How To Make A Clay Pot Horse -:
Wow .. who
knew! Now that you’re up to speed, we’ll spare the horsing around! We’ve
found you some great info on how you can make your own Clay Pot Horse and
pop him in your garden minus the mess! How seriously adorable are these
cuties and they are made using terracotta clay pots and of varying
sizes. As you can see, some have had plantings added for manes and
around the tops of their legs. It’s an incredibly cute idea and they
will certainly get the neighbours talking!
We found an awesome Tutorial for the above Clay Pot Horses.The photos were apparently sent in by Stephanie Butler, a facebook friend of the Blogger.
She is from Illinois and these are her creations. What an incredible
job she has done! As you can see from the above Photo the basic frame of
the Horse is actually very easy using a combination of Mini and Large
Clay Pots. This will depend on the size Horse that you want of course.
This
is what Stephanie had to say about how she made her Clay Pot Horses -:
You will need 16- 4″ legs, 2 – 10″ body , 2- 8″ azalea pots for neck, 1 –
8″ reg pot for face. ALL pots are glued together with JB Weld.
We tried lots of other glues but nothing held especially when watering
the plants. For tails I used twine, dyed to the colour of the horse” Purchase Glue Here
This Clay Pot Horse was featured on the Midwest Living Site. This is Francois the Horse and he has Mexican Feathergrass for his mane! |

St.Lukes Indian Summer~Tidbit Of The Month
http://www.almanac.com/fact/st-lukes-little-summer-lovely-summerlike-days-saint
Lovely, summer like days that occur around October 18 are called Saint Luke’s Little Summer in honor of the saint’s feast day. Around this time, Saint Luke’s feast day, there is a period brief period of calm, dry weather. Of course, it’s difficult to generalize today across the vast continent of North America, but the temperature is usually mild and the leaf colors are turning a gorgeous color. It’s a good time for a brief vacation or visit to a park. In Venice, Italy, they say: “San Luca, El ton va te la zuca” (Pumpkins go stale on St Luke’s Day), but here in North America, pumpkins are enjoying their finest hour. Saint Luke is the patron saint of physicians and surgeons so it seems only fitting that the good doctor give us these calm days. In olden days, St. Luke’s Day did not receive as much attention in the secular world as St. John’s Day (June 24) and Michaelmas (September 29), so it was to keep from being forgotten that St. Luke presented us with some golden days to cherish before the coming of winter, or so the story goes. Some folks call this Indian Summer, but that officially occurs between November 11 and November 20.
