A Valentine Garden

As a Papier-mâché artist, the outside of our house is always strewn with models, most of them sprouting succulents, so a few ribbons and roses are all that's required to add a romantic touch.

Ned the horse has has been in situ for a couple of years and is now part of the vegetation wrapped in ivy with succulents sprouting from his hat.

I've christened this little character the 'Explorer' . With his rustic hat and stick, he looks set for a long walk in the hills.

The red rose adds a romantic touch to this lion but does nothing to temper his fierceness!

A single red rose is sufficient to add a touch of colour to 'Tree' who is a planter for succulents.

Above is one of my foil sculptures. This remains inside most of the year and is available on hire for Valentine parties.
