Oh I'm cookin'!!! I'm SMOKIN'!!!

Becky, you have really got me going! But, I still need the help of all of y'all! Here is what I have.... This is the garden arch. I want to hang my completed project from the center arch.

Here is my inspiration for the colors and design.

This is the start of my project. I found this stick out in the woods behind my house a couple of years ago and just knew it would come in handy!

Can you see the snake in the wood??? (you need to click on the picture to get the full effect of it). I figured to add some clay on to the "front end" where the snake's mouth is hanging open to create a better face and to add a snakey tongue, then add some more clay onto the other side to create a snakey tail. From the center I plan to hang a fish that reflects the fish in the second image above. From either end I plan to hang some frogs, lizards and seahorses, etc. to balance everything out, with maybe a frog or more hanging below the center fish.

Comments, questions, ideas, hints??? I appreciate any and all of them!!! Smiling
