@Lilysmom1   This just appeared on my Facebook page from a company called Woodworking Enthusiasts, which may be in Canada.  I love it and immediately thought of you and your garden.  What do you think?

Further investigation reveals it's by an artist name Debra Bernier who has a shop on Etsy and some of her work is shown on Pintrest.  She lives on Vancouver Island.

@Kachina624 , isn't it unique?  I am with @Flatbush . I wouldn't keep this outside.  The weather would get it.  Some of my stumps (remember them) have rotted over time.  I will have a look at the site.  Thanks for posting!  ❤️  S

 

PS @Kachina624 , her face reminds me a bit of this statue in my garden.  Probably because the colouring is similar.  Although it is hard to see, this one has a fawn looking up at the lady. I have moved this one to the deck off the house and I like it better there.  S

@Lilysmom1    I have some wooden outside doo-dads birdhouses and such, that I didn't want to deteoriate.  I found this spray, on a TV infomercial, called Mighty Sealer .  It has worked like a charm; it's clear and my objects still look brand new.  Best of all it sealed hairline cracks in an old cement birdbath and it now holds water like new. 

 

Rarely do infomercial purchases turn out so happily.

 

I agree, best to put something as precious as this sculpture where it has some protection, even in the house.

@Kachina624 Kachna...quite striking..I'd have to think about it and where I would feature it.  I can see my friend Carole love this for her garden of flowers and plants that I love

@Lilysmom1    I'm still holding on to the photo of my favorite stump from your garden.  I sent it to a friend who is a professional water-colorist and has won many awards, suggesting she paint it.  I got excited after Christmas when she said she was sending me something... I thought maybe the stump.  It turned out to be the original water color of birches in the snow which I'd admired as her annual Christmas card.   It's beautiful but I was a little disappointed. 

 

So others can see it.
