Farsiders and Garden Delights

Farsiders, created by Harry, are pontificators.
They love visitors coming into the shop
Each day they get put out on the step
to appreciate what life brings forth ......
........unwanted enamel bowls made into wheelbarrows
- deligthful toys for children
or vessels into which plants can be displayed
and fish made from unwanted jacaranda trees
- part of a "working for water" project
which uplift any corner of the garden - available in white
Each day the display is different
each day a new story is told. .........

Angels...

Our angels in g-strings and fancy trousers
with tea pots on their heads
fly around collecting wishes
and return with suitcases of miracles
.... be careful what you wish for 'cos wishes do come true!

Rusty Love

What better use of unwanted sheets of metal
than to create loving words
or interesting observations.
A chameleon stretches out to explore while
a meerkat decides that he is better alone than with bad friends.
At Red Rock, we love all things unusual, different and interesting.
