Hats, Plaits and Golden Boots - that's style!!!

Hats, Plaits and Golden Boots - that's style!!!
These quirky and 'stylish' figures that I understand were part of an arts and crafts trail in Kircudbright made me smile.
I have added a song called 'Headstart for Happiness' by the Style Council

The figures on the left have been produced by a skilled metalworker and will surely be one of the more unusual fence images this week, excellent capture!
HFF and a good weekend.

Ecobird club has replied to Jaap van 't Veen club
Thank you very much Jaap. Kircudbright is an interesting town and is known for it's arts and crafts and art tours. It was the setting for some of the scenes from the Wicker Man and wicker artwork is sometimes to be found here. I have read that an 18foot wicker horse will feature in the Kircudbright Festival of Light. These figures were an unexpected sight for me though.

Ecobird club has replied to tiabunna club
Thank you very much George. I agree, - I don't know which surprised me more the lady dressed in seashells or a viking dressed in a suit and gold boots!!

I understand for their festival of light they are having and 18 ft wicker horse!!

What a lovely shell dress Carol! I especially like the well made figures on the left. A lot of work must have gone in to them all. A superb image.
HFF and I hope you have a good weekend.

Ecobird club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thank you very much Rosa. I saw some pictures online where the vikings were dressed as fishermen!! The shell lady suffered some vandalism at some point, as did the funhouse mirrors around the corner from here. There was a tardis there too - all very random but fun.

Kircudbright is known for its arts and crafts and some of the scenes from the Wicker Man were also filmed here

A very interesting take here. She in her shell skirt is not paying attention to those two Viking warriors. Well done.

So we grow braids and wear hats and golden boots. :))
The fashion designers will be happy. ;)
Great documentary, Carol!

Ecobird club has replied to * ઇઉ * club
:))) The gold boots take me back to the days of glam rock, - although the suit is more new romantics!. As for the headwear - that is something else!! Hats I love - but I draw the line at horns!!! By the time I have grown my hair long enough to braid it the fashion will have changed again!!!

Many thanks * ઇઉ *

Have a great weekend and keep smiling!!

Thank you very much Doug. It was quite surreal meeting these characters, and then seeing a tardis around the corner along with funhouse disortion mirrors, although by this time my world was feeling a little distorted!!!

A clever combination for 'Sight and Sound'. I thought for a second the figure on the right was Joanna Lumley!! Have a lovely rest of the weekend, Carol.

Well that is quite spooky Roger - the first thing Roger said when he saw it was ' Surely that is Joanna Lumley!!!'
