This week I really must confess that this hand sticking out of the earth in my garden prompts negative reactions from 99 percent of people who see it! (Too many horror films, methinks.)I see it as a positive, as an 'alive' earth reaching out, but then I am a bit of a hippy at heart. lol
I made the hand a few years ago with some left over cement. I filled a rubber glove with it and hung it on the line to dry. Actually I made a pair, but in peeling the gloves off of the other hand one of the fingers broke off! I did have the single finger pushed into one of my plant posts for a while. but people kept getting the wrong message. ;-)
So what do you think of my hand? Does it freak you out too?
This is the fourth of my new mid week posts under the title I Have a Confession to make. . .
I will be back next week with another confession. :-)

Funny post. :) :) I love your meaning behind it... although I can understand the spookiness of it too!
I must admit it's not something I would choose - I'm more a 'hind legs of the dog' person;-) Nonetheless, it's an interesting conversation piece;-)
Yes it does! LOL
LOL Susannah. Now we know where you hide the bodies! I think it's hilarious. :-)
The little one thought it was a zombie..
LOL
I suppose it would have a better reaction if it was crawling?
~shrug~
interesting idea... yes - it does slightly freak me out! still, it made me smile :)
I love it!
Right in line with my sense of humour. : )
Thanks everyone. I am loving reading your opinions. :-)
I didn't find it strange. I thought of it as a statement of reality: that your garden, plants, flowers, are a constant hands on project.
For years, I had a full size black timber wolf poster hanging on my bedroom wall. I could tell by people's reactions to it whether we would truly be friends or not. My confession, if you will,

Thanks for joining in Elizabeth. :-)
I bet that full size timber wolf was quite a magnificent sight!
