Meet Buttercup.

She looks a little like a pig but she is actually a lovely little lady wombat!

This is an amazing sculpture in a very unlikely place !

[Pigeons Farm]

Such a sweet sculpture.

[Peter H]

Ah, I had to look at least three times to get that... !

[JackieR]

I thought it was a macro of a pencil stub!! Oops

[KoalaGardens🐨]

really think that's more like a pig, but pencil stub is sticking for me now too hahaha

[FBailey]

Zoe's I presume? Very like a pencil stub:)

[Denise Wood]

Looks a bit piggy to me :)

[Sharon Lee]

nice framing. Hello buttercup

[Walks @ 7]

What a great little work of art. Hello Buttercup.

[Marnie]

Awww, she's very cute. Wouldn't eat much either.

[Jacqueline]

Cute shot!

@fr1da Hi Frida - she lives in our garden and was made by a local welder turned into sculptor. He is amazingly clever and can turn old bits of metal into so many assorted animals. We have several - I'm quite addicted to his work!! :)

[Rob Z]

@peadar Lol - you really need to see her little feet, tail and ears to get the fact that she's a wombat. She is cute!

[Rob Z]

Oh - poor Buttercup - I won't tell her that - she may be very hurt! :)

@gilbertwood Oh no Denise - she's much nicer than a pig - she has a lovely little tail! :)

[Rob Z]

@joysabin Thanks for checking her out - she is just lovely - the retired welder who made her is very, very talented! :)

[Rob Z]

@golftragic Lol - so true! And she never sulks or bites or scares Zoe!! Great garden friend - much better than a gnome!

[Marnie]

@robz I'd reckon

[JackieR]

My sincere and abject apologies to buttercup, she is stunningly beautiful and as I didnt know what s wombat looks like until I googled it....but do recognise a ✏️ pencil my brain just went ahhhh yes. Please do tell buttercup how sorry I am, especially as I dragged @fbailey and @koalagardens down to my level of art, and wombat, appreciation. 💓

[FBailey]

Poor little Buttercup - thanks for making me chuckle! Hadn't realised she was a wee welded sculpture. We've had that many rubber squeaky pigs I thought she was Zoe's toy ...

[Rob Z]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Why Jackie - Buttercup has a lovely nature and I know she will hold no grudge. She fully understands that you may not have immediately recognized her wombat beauty as you are not from her homeland. She even asked me to extend an invitation to you to visit her in person if you ever happen to be in these parts! Please, worry no longer. Cheers Rob.

@fbailey Fortunately FB Zoe finds her totally uninteresting. If she treated Buttercup like she treats her pig it would be catastrophic - broken teeth everywhere.. The man who makes these is amazingly talented - he can make any animal you ask him for. Thanks for your interest! :)
