but I hate that it drops leaves everyday.....every single day of it's existence. And they are big waxy leaves and there are a lot of them. Raking them out of the yard became difficult so a few years ago I removed the grass from under that tree and put in a gravel garden to make cleaning up the leaves much easier.
In that garden I put skull faces cast out of concrete and last week I picked up some black glass beads to scatter among the gravel. Continuing with my black and gray theme our Halloween decor :)
We are having a wedding at the house next weekend and had a crew of people descend on the yard to get it in top shape. Some the crew brought their kids.
Kids + concrete skulls + black beads = interactive art!
So now, my skulls have eyes! :D

Hmm, I think I need to crash a certain wedding! By the way, will you be putting skulls like those on Etsy?
ReplyDeleteCool!! Sounds like a lot of fun!!
ReplyDeleteI use a leaf blower to clean-up under my Magnolia trees....
What fun! Love the skulls. I too LOVE magnolias but I can see how yard clean up could be a bit on the aggravating side!
