Whimsy Catch of 2011- Mr. Pig II

I found a replacement for my Whimsy catch of 2006 Mr. Pig! He or she is staying on the back porch 'til I can find a better spot.

Mr. Pig II is a metal lawn creature I found at Ginger Bloom's in Richmond, IL. It's hand made in Mexico using metal and rebar. After the pig is created, it is watered daily until the desired point of rustiness is reached, and then it's coated with a polyurethane to stop the rusting process.  With time, the poly will flake off, and the rusting will continue--new rust having a more orange color. If I want to stop the rusting process, I need to recoat the pig with a poly spray, or paint it with Rustoleum rust color.
