This Lady lives in the garden, where many of my flower pictures are captured. The figures are created by a Dutch lady,in the small city of Perth, about 40 minutes North of here. They are made of nothing more than paper, and lace from Holland. They are completely waterproof, and this particular one, is permanently attached to the rock, upon which, she is seated.

What a unique little figure. Well I'm assuming it's little. It could very well be lifesize and you grow enormous plants in your magical garden! :) I like this photo very much. Thanks for sharing it.

I love this tiny llittle statue and the way she's nestled right in among the plants. You might miss her if you weren't very observant. Great photo with the play of light among the leaves and wonderful detail, too!

Good work with the lighting on this very unique garden statue Doug! She is lovely. Made from only lace and paper? How wonderfully clever. She would look awesome in my newly planted gardens :~)
You did good on capturing the essence of her guarding your garden flowers. Well done my friend.
Thank you also for the kind words you left for me on ~romantic evening~I was playing with my camera and shot my lily just a wee bit too dark, but captured the colors just right so I simply put it in photoshop and lightened it to my specifications :)
I am glad that you, too, were able to enjoy my garden. Your support is deeply appreciated :~)
