“We now have seven scarecrows, all built from a combination of tomato cages, fence posts, scrap wood, metal and old clothes—and each with a coffeepot for its head!

“When we first started making our garden friends, we didn’t think anyone would notice—were we ever wrong!”

“In Yellville we call jig dancing ‘clogging.’ I don’t know how to clog yet, but I make and sell a 12-inch folk doll that does. I decided to use the same pattern only bigger—for my scarecrow. I started with a red-cedar log about a foot in diameter and 34 inches long, and cut the arms and legs out of one-half-inch stock.

“When I first mounted my scarecrow on its dancing platform in the garden, I’d look out my window and get a funny feeling—as though there was a real kid out there!”
