Haha, these pot people in the first picture look really funny:p But I think they're also kind of creepy and I wouldn't want to have them in my garden;)

I love garden art and think it adds a tremendous amount of character to the yard. The art piece you posted reminds me of a local restaurant I go to called "Tio's Tacos." The man has created tons of beautiful art throughout his garden, made from nothing but recycled junk/trash. He opened a restaurant on his property and actually lives there. I'll post a few photos below. It's weirdly beautiful to look at, even though it's nothing but dumpster trash.

So clever! What a great way of being eco friendly and using stuff that would otherwise end up in the trash! I'm sure if I was in the area I would eat there simply because of all the character the place has!

That's so cute! I wish I was that creative with my own garden. I just buy the pre-made decor and call it a day! I do have a lot of clay pots in the back yard anyway. I have tons of cinder blocks too. Still not sure what to do with them.

over the years seen the pot people in peoples gardens/lawn areas about. If you have time to fuss with such stuff its cute. Recently inherited some statues from my Father -in-law, they are placed around in the gardens. Have to stand alone the harsh winters.

@ kathryn crook...you should have a solar pump/fountain for your waterless fountain...guilt free, inexpensive. If there is one thing i will not be without in the garden is a solar fountain for the birdies.

If you want to see something hilarious you should ask @granjera to see her Rastafarian garden gnome:LOL:
I wish I could but it sits in the shade almost all day, in fact, none of my yard gets really good sun so solar is not really a good option for me.

These are so cute, OP :) I'd love trying something like that for my back yard, but I bet that if I have children they will get a bit scared of my yard art ;) It sounds like a fun project to try with the kid though.

Are your kids scared of some yard art like mine are? Lol. One of my kids hate our zombie gnomes! We had to move them to the side yard just so they didnt torture him on his way to the bus every day! Lol!

Super cute pot people! I love garden art! I made some wind chimes for my garden out of seashells and I also just found some really cute garden markers I might get for next year. What do you think?
