We must start with a question: What is a scarecrow? According to the Collins English dictionary it is ' an object, usually in the shape of a man, made out of sticks and old clothes to scare birds away from crops.'
What is a model - 'a representation, usually on a smaller scale, of a device, structure etc'.
There are some complex designs this year. So come along to Muston and see if you can spot a scarecrow. However - and here is a plea - please do not come round in the dark. Yes, unbelievable though it is, there are visitors witnessed every year wandering around the village looking at scarecrows in the dark!
To see what can be achieved with papier mache I would recommend visiting these sites:
papiermache-art.com
The papier mache resource

I'll try to add some pics this week, but it has not stopped raining - and so most of the papier mache is covered.
