Is it a Halloween figure, a scarecrow or something for Guy Fawkes Day?
None of the above, said creator Sherlette Sealy.
“It’s Mr Boing. When I was a child, there used to be a man, Mr Boing, who used to sell second-hand stuff. I always admired him, so I named the figure Farmer Boing,” she explained.
Sealy said she made Farmer Boing two years ago. As someone who loves to use her hands, she said it was not difficult and she was very proud of her handiwork. However, she said people often did not recognize what it was.
“Most people think it is a scarecrow but it is a replica of a farmer,” she said.
Farmer Boing was also enlisted to draw attention to Sealy’s garage sale at the weekend in Arch Cot Terrace, Brittons Hill, St Michael. (CA)
