Jack came with a detachable metal handle, which I remove to begin his transformation to Wilson II. My husband and I fondly refer to him as Wilson because he reminds us of the transformed volleyball in The Castaway.
His makeover consists of stuffing one of my many large flower frogs with dried plant material from my garden: seed heads of feather reed grass, dwarf fountain grass, coral bells and black-eyed Susan. I generally throw in a few dried hosta scapes for character. This year I toyed with adding a few wild turkey feathers (see Postscript: Turkey Talk), but decided that might be going overboard.
Voila!
A whimsical, fun and fast addition to the fall decor.
