Ohhhh that is very cool!

Neat! It looks so desolate....

That's what you need Root. One of them big heads for your Hole-on-the-wall!

Did you ever see Marks? http://davesgarden.com/t/377843/

I did see Marks,he had it in a thread from when he started his beds,I love it,I can across the place he got it from while I was surfing,I want mine almost life size,and some buried too,should look cool,I have been working out how I am going to do it.

WOW! I've always wanted to walk those fields. Rootdoctor--how are you going to build them???

I am planning on using a wood frame with wire mesh and concrete surface,I will use rock salt to give the aged look,did you get the site to work?

These are Olmec heads,I am looking to see what the surface is like,I want to create an aged look.

I could see this in my backyard.

Thanks for the link root. We actually tried to book a trip there several years ago, but it didn't work out. There is relatively no place to stay on the island and the planes out of Peru are very sporatic, so we opted out of the plan. So very nice to see the pics!

Why don't one of you fly away to Easter island or South America & bring me back a nice big carved head for my garden? It might be a bit heavy, but I'll pay postage...LOL

Never know Wanda,after I learn how to make them,you may be able to have one!

LOL, wish I could, perhaps when we go we'll take a private jet and can bring one back without the postage LOL!

I was just gonna say how cool it would be if maybe Bo could do these in hypertufta. LOL Looks like good old Root will be making them soon. Can I have a light one?? Women like to move things. LOL

Root - there's a book out called 'Making Concrete Garden Ornaments'. Sounds like you'd put it to good use. It has a lot of good info about creating such pieces.

id love to have one in my garden-thats to cool!!

I;m all over this!it is all I am thinking about!we talked over some fondation and wire forms today,I am really concerned on the surface texture,I can not use salt on anything going under my Oak tree.
Chele start saving postage LOL!

If you make me one, will it fit in my trunk? Maybe I can do a road trip! LOL My kids would freak if I had one in the garden.... Come to think of it, I would flip!

Wanda and I will have to do a road trip together, Root.
I want one too!

TLC, I can just see us going down the highway with heads tied to our car roofs....

Will do if Root can make them!

I am nuts on these heads,I was talking to my friend,he said you gotta go see this guy on Anioch road,said he had some,so I did,went up there,they are made of wood.
We hit it off,very nice guy,he wants me to plant around them next year,we are going to some swapping.

This one is being made now

Here is his front yard.

He made a foot as a joke.I like it!

another shot

Wow! Maybe you can just mail the carving guy to me... How much postage do you suppose it would be??? LOL And to think I let them cut that tornado damaged tree all the way down in July! :(

root when are you bringing your chainsaw over? you can practice all you want. LOL

I just got back from Todds'we ate some chili and watched Football,He showed me this site,seems his yard gets around,there was even a Zippy the Pinhead comic about his yard.
He is doing great with his EEs and Brugs,It should be fun doing his yard with tropicals this spring.
