I can see the appeal to keeping scarecrows traditional, and my personal tastes usually take me in that direction (as will be the case this year), but I like to push the envelope sometimes. Roots was a fun invention of an X-creature that happens to dig on crows. The Bog dude was the victim of his discoverer - Mr. Swan - and was jammed on a post for all to see... hanging like a scarecrow.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I may go beyond the pale. : ) But they're usually the ones that are the most fun to build.Rothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11329750481399948095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-8051957384444440122008-07-26T17:27:00.000-04:002008-07-26T17:27:00.000-04:00I absolutely love your scarecrows, but one thing I...I absolutely love your scarecrows, but one thing I've noticed about Roots and Bogman that struck me as a little off was the positioning of their arms. Probably just me, but I think having arms that are spread wide like with Pumpkinrot and Johnny really enhances the "scarecrow feeling", and with it the aesthetic, erm, beauty, as it were. Bogman and roots felt a little less scarecrowy and too confined, like they weren't reveling in their scarecrowy nature as much as they could, if you know what I mean.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-32779300644764582372008-07-24T02:05:00.000-04:002008-07-24T02:05:00.000-04:00Bog Man for the win.

I like how the head is straight up and the skull is oozing out of it. it makes the ooze more emphatic (word?) when it's coming from a straightish head. <BR/><BR/>just sayin'crudedoodle.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394418563830966718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-73383555506271604842008-07-23T09:50:00.000-04:002008-07-23T09:50:00.000-04:00I think you're absolutely right about the head pos...I think you're absolutely right about the head positioning. It's an extension of human body-language. That was one of the mistakes I made on <A HREF="http://halloween.necrobones.com/detritus.html" REL="nofollow">my scarecrow</A> from 2006-- I had the head too rigidly upright and set back from the chest. He stands proud, which is in contrast to rest of its appearance. :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06768898431190954030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-48497719158520375872008-07-23T08:46:00.000-04:002008-07-23T08:46:00.000-04:00I liked how Johnny Appleseed's face was partly blo...I liked how Johnny Appleseed's face was partly blocked by his hat, it made him more mysterious which I liked. I don't even know where to begin with Bogman or Roots, they are almost indescribable to me. Wish I could come up with something like that. I've been sketching a scarecrow that I plan to build this year (starting on it this weekend!), I think you'll like it if I can get everything to come out right. I messed up on my scarecrow from last year by making him too... "Stiff" I guess would be the word, I wish he had looked more alive.Grahamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09521484427391893260noreply@blogger.com
