Pink Flamingo Arizona Style: Quail in Pink and Blue

arizona pink flamingo
 
The Arizona Style Pink Flamingo is a gorgeous tribute to the Grand Canyon State’s mighty quail. It proves once and for all that Floridians are not the only ones lucky enough to have a version of this ever-popular and gorgeous bright pink flamingo.

Why you need it:
Pink flamingos are the ultimate piece of yard art – and you don’t want to be left in the barren dust. Besides, the Arizona Pink Flamingo ensures you are helping wildlife thrive by acknowledging its beauty in every form. It will also make your neighbor’s laugh, which means they will automatically like you and then you can get away with things like leaf-blowing all your debris onto their property with no repercussions.

How I made it:
Metal yard art is created with love and care by first cutting out shape from sheet metal, filing down the edges with a Dremel and pounding out kinks with a flat hammer and anvil combination that the neighbors and my dogs hate.

Specs:
Approx. 14 inches high by 11 inches wide.
Weather resistant, rust-resistant paint finished off with clear coat.
Wire loop for easy hanging.

Variations:
Custom orders always welcome! Consider pink flamingos of other regions, such as the Michigan-style flamingo that is a robin done up in pink and aqua hues or the Alaska version, which is a penguin sporting the same colors. Oh, yeah – you can also get a traditional Florida-style pink flamingo if you so desire.

Beware of Puking Cats: Metal Yard Art

Believe it or not, this little cutie is a hot seller, right after the Beware of Dog signs. We think it’s because no cat owner should be without such a useful sign.

Nothing is worse than stepping in cat puke in the middle of the night – or any time, for that matter. Well, maybe sticking a fork in your eye is worse, but there’s no reason for either one.

Now people will be on guard when they visit any cat owner’s home, especially if the folks are barefoot.

This particular kitty, named Rhoda, is ravishing with her somewhat putrid green and sweet pink accented lips.

Indoor or outdoor use, fully weatherproof. Approx. 10 inches side x 8 inches high. Wire loop for easy hanging. Filed edges for safety’s sake.
