Are your ground breakers weatherproof? Without giving away trade secrets what are they made out of?

Rot said...

They are made with rolled newspaper and cardboard over a pvc frame screwed into the wooden base. Wrapped with heavy duty duct tape, coated with paper towels dipped in glue mache. Then painted with black exterior latex spray paint. And then hand painted with acrylic paints. So they're pretty strong, but I wouldn't recommend keeping them outside if it rains.

Oh god...

They're beautiful...

Number III is my fav. I love groundbreakers that are looking down. It gives them a sort of passive look which I dig.

Wish you had time to make a witch or two. Would love a pumpkinrot witch in my yard on halloween night casting her spells!
