<div style="text-align: center;">
This clay topper was created for Ian and Lisa who got married on 13th April 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They wanted to be sat on their Harley Davidson in their biking gear with their pet Parrot on the tank.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with the bike. The wheels and handlebars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNp21TltYmGzCcq9fljWN7AOOe-8vVuSYZuXlu8bt32FNDZF5UfS-TenuZmXJsIXBJY8yn7ZcClRZn2kuY0ZQKOcJFY2v5_cFLfNeFOh_7zeyduI4fOYcjB4nnbmF1J6I6fcco0w/s1600/bike2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNp21TltYmGzCcq9fljWN7AOOe-8vVuSYZuXlu8bt32FNDZF5UfS-TenuZmXJsIXBJY8yn7ZcClRZn2kuY0ZQKOcJFY2v5_cFLfNeFOh_7zeyduI4fOYcjB4nnbmF1J6I6fcco0w/s320/bike2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then added the detail to the bike.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVvZzmVPm_zttPfBNL78kxDW9qXG3JGn8E2fSxxwF1XWWuqh_FymB_qcjFdR5CQ0fzwG8sHs9ZUHXtsSTtQA-GJw9sjw9VIwUlasnIZukQ7QRntd8S0ftqm1goEGcT9r-7O8UdFA/s1600/bike9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVvZzmVPm_zttPfBNL78kxDW9qXG3JGn8E2fSxxwF1XWWuqh_FymB_qcjFdR5CQ0fzwG8sHs9ZUHXtsSTtQA-GJw9sjw9VIwUlasnIZukQ7QRntd8S0ftqm1goEGcT9r-7O8UdFA/s320/bike9.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next the legs. I wanted Ian's legs to be either side of the bike to add to the stability of the figures.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi40v2wvJuaJHRwSwQHerMiiHqnSlnWnH1vK_Z6JxhM1CqTtcNDJTO1OF-WHfSmwaPamEeeZaqgnurCCY_BU7-CikzQpJfPfB5mVodde83iA9lRQlpuWZMiTycedzlx1KygkUIO7Q/s1600/bike10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi40v2wvJuaJHRwSwQHerMiiHqnSlnWnH1vK_Z6JxhM1CqTtcNDJTO1OF-WHfSmwaPamEeeZaqgnurCCY_BU7-CikzQpJfPfB5mVodde83iA9lRQlpuWZMiTycedzlx1KygkUIO7Q/s320/bike10.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next the bodies and heads and finer details.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The parrot I decided would be stronger if it was fitted to the tank. I put two wires into the tank and built the parrot around it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The club badge was done using a decal, it worked very well. The hardest part was the lettering on the bike.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

You could not read the badge on the jumpers very clearly so I did a larger one for the base.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought you may like to take a look at these photo canvases I have just made. I can't claim it was my idea and you can find links to the steps all over the internet but if you would like to keep reading I can let you into this fool proof method.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
All you need is:</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
canvas </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a photograph that is near enough the size of the canvas</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
acrylic paint</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
either a sponge brush or a 1" - 2" paint brush</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
scrapbook paper </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mod Podge</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Begin by cutting the scrapbook paper into strips slightly smaller than the sides of the canvas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mod Podge around the edges of the canvas and wait a few seconds for it to go slightly tacky, stick this all around the sides as in the photograph below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut your photograph just smaller than the canvas and Mod Podge the back of it not the canvas. Try not to get the Mod Podge on the photograph it can smudge the colour, I used my inkjet printer for the photograph and it worked fine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gently press the photograph onto the canvas, I found the best way was to line up the photograph then lay a piece of greaseproof paper on top and gently smooth it down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once dry, it only takes about 30 minutes you can Mod Podge the front of the photograph. I prefer the brush to do this. For the first coat go down vertically one way making sure it is all coated, when this is dry you can do the second coat vertically. This will give the effect of linen on your photograph.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Mod Podge will be a milky white when first done but dries clear.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="border: currentColor;">
It really is very easy and I was pleased with the result, I may have to get more of these and get creating.</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: currentColor; text-align: center;">
You can buy these canvases at various shops and they are very cheap. These had the easels with them which I covered in ginger alcohol ink and then a coat of water based varnish.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the photograph with the first coat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the first coat when nearly dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="border: currentColor;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see the difference in the wet and dry here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgisi765anF9p5h-s1BtRYhLwfe7di6nJAP7fucQuWJgqCMKqWcZamkCOfJdj5ekPbZuGEumIKgieKlteTk_h1-O-jH_i-eqwg9zcgKuC-GOyTnJo4N2uKzDGSSAXYUaLzcn2mW1A/s1600/photo+canvas2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" psa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgisi765anF9p5h-s1BtRYhLwfe7di6nJAP7fucQuWJgqCMKqWcZamkCOfJdj5ekPbZuGEumIKgieKlteTk_h1-O-jH_i-eqwg9zcgKuC-GOyTnJo4N2uKzDGSSAXYUaLzcn2mW1A/s320/photo+canvas2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
When both coats are dry you can apply the acrylic paint, the choice of colour is entirely yours.
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a small stipple brush lightly loaded with the paint, don't use too much better to add the paint sparingly and get the colour right than try and take it off!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This first photograph was smaller than the canvas so it has a bigger border you can see the difference between them, the second photograph was larger hence the smaller border.</div>
<br />

I added the corners and small flowers just as embellishments. I am rather pleased with both of them.

This topper was commissioned by a proud Mum for her daughter Hazel who married Peter on the 9th August 2012. <br />
<br />
<div style="border: currentColor; text-align: center;">
Peter is a keen runner and proposed to Hazel after he had run a marathon and Hazel is a enthusiastic cyclist. They wanted this to be reflected in their topper and also some movement needed to be captured. I did this by making Hazel's hair 'blow in the wind' as if she was riding her bike at speed and Peter running by the side of her bike. We put his marathon number on his back 1312.</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
Here are some of the steps I took to creating this hand crafted and unique clay wedding cake topper. Because of the nature of the topper wire had to be used to keep the shape and to prevent any mishaps from occurring.</div>
<div style="border: currentColor; text-align: center;">
Hazel's bike, two prongs stick up from the saddle to anchor the bride in place. Ouch!</div>
<br />

The cat and the bouquet sit in the basket at the front of the bike. The strips of clay were woven together to create the basket.</div>

This clay cake topper was commissioned by James for his marriage to Kate on May 6th 2012.</div>

James is wearing pinstripe trousers and a black Morning Coat for the occasion. Now pinstripe trousers are not the easiest things to make with clay, trying to get the stripes to stay 'straight' can be quite difficult but after a couple of goes I managed to manufacture a piece of 'material' to my satisfaction.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next came the waistcoat and Morning coat.</div>

A unique and personal Christening gift for baby.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made this gift for my great nephew Ryan Mason. A personalised photo canvas.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with three small canvas's and painted them blue.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I printed images to fit onto the canvas, I decoupaged them to give them depth and added Stickles in give the impression of fireworks. The images were taken from a Forever Friends Celebrations CD, you could of course add anything you wanted to these canvas's the choice is yours to make.</div>

I hot glued the ribbon running down the back of the canvas's and looped it through the hanger at the top and placed the ribbon just to the bottom of the round hanger. The silver 'studs' were done with a Viva Pearl Pen.</div>

Came back a few weeks ago from our hols in Lanzarote, lovely blue skies and a mini heatwave gave us temperatures of over 30 degrees, (been shivering since I came home)...... and no cats in sight. If you have read any other posts on this blog you will see that we usually find a cat that befriends us. This is a mystery to us as we are not cat people and my other half doesn't even like them but they seem to attach themselves to him. Probably because he is a push over and feeds them, so they visit him every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nevertheless, no cats just a lovely relaxing holiday for 10 days.</div>

I had an redundant metal trough sitting at the top of the garden filled with weeds so I turfed them all out and filled it with Sedum, Sempervivum Hybrid Mixed they have a lovely tinge to the end of their leaves and grow little off shots that I hope will trail down over the top and eventually hide the plastic liner. I popped a Hosta in there too but if it gets too big it may have to come out but for the moment it's fine, Saxifraga Monarch which grows pink and white flowers on the end of a tall stalk and a Sedum spathulifolium. I hope they will all cluster together and form a carpet of colour, just thought it would be unusual and fun.</div>

A handy tip for green pepper plants, Spray the plant with Epsom salts (1 teaspoon dissolved in a spray bottle of warm water (about 4 cups). That gives the pepper plant a boost of magnesium that is required at flowering time to produce fruit. Spray them again 10 days later and then again in a few weeks time.</div>

It has been a long time since I last posted anything on my blog. I am afraid I have been too busy with other things. If we haven't been DIYing in the house I have been in the study with clay creating another wedding topper. (More info can be found on <a href="http://weddingsofclay.co.uk/">weddingsofclay.co.uk</a>) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But for this post I thought I would share with you my polymer clay puppies and my kaleidescope of Butterflies. I suppose this could be used on the top of a birthday cake or perhaps a paperweight to give your desk a bit of colour. For the moment this is going to sit on the coffee table in the conservatory and then when we do eventually get a bit of sun in the North East it will catch the colours shimmering on the Butterflies. Another idea would be to pop them into your plant pots along with your plants to brighten them up.</div>

Lastly I made a base out of a lump of scrap clay, covered it with imitation silver leaf and when it was fired gave it a coat of alcohol ink then water based varnish. When it was dry I threaded a load of seed beads onto thin wire and then wrapped them around the base. If it was going to be made as a cake topper I think a heart shape would have been more suitable.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">I really enjoy creating these wedding toppers and this last one was no exception. It threw up a couple of challenges.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My first challenge was the veil. Veils are really hard to perfect on the toppers and it is very difficult using the clay, they tend not to last long, the clay would have to be so thin it would crack either when fired or while in transit and the second challenge was the kilt. It has to look something similar to the actual garment.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think I managed on both counts, to see all the steps please follow this link and let me know what you think.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://tinyurl.com/cm92vme">http://tinyurl.com/cm92vme</a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

He came home as right as rain and then went slowly downhill. He developed an infection and by the Wednesday he was very unsettled, agitated and wanted nothing more than to put himself in the smallest corner of the house. Another trip to the vet took place and he confirmed the infection and gave him painkillers, antibiotics and a buster collar! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> For some reason his favourite place was the bathroom.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">He looks like a sunflower and I was tempted to draw petals on it but thought it may embarrass him when he went out.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIc6QIPSF6fzRYn6_I1IuMV-lJ-MvLFqlgsR0YeDTE2J_jmmDFusJTZAbal52sEHlwnkEfF69sIkG7ZkUxIR86TUvJ3CmqEZ9YFNAWNoYyh5MigNgfDVX0Ygi3QbbeMkd7PuSVHQ/s1600/bertie+collar2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIc6QIPSF6fzRYn6_I1IuMV-lJ-MvLFqlgsR0YeDTE2J_jmmDFusJTZAbal52sEHlwnkEfF69sIkG7ZkUxIR86TUvJ3CmqEZ9YFNAWNoYyh5MigNgfDVX0Ygi3QbbeMkd7PuSVHQ/s320/bertie+collar2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
<div align="center">He was on short walks only, no running, playing or jumping, not that he wanted to at the time. Only problem was he wouldn't spend a penny with this collar on and he stored it up for two days, then we stood at one tree for a full five minutes while he got rid of it. Because he couldn't go in the garden we were walking the estate at 5 am when he needed to go out. I have to admit I was a little worried when he seemed to show no improvement.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_bvKQT4s7-Pkr4FgfEUfpMZjdeDY-Gtp1vrUnn1wkZ3qmYGKWRBlmGg8uOVYs-X24ll-CdnSS5vJgZ_5iEnb2ck0Q8fDjXMAKfZTgqs2oa-blVwPU5_NnNeBeWU5tFe4sfX7QHA/s1600/bert+collar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_bvKQT4s7-Pkr4FgfEUfpMZjdeDY-Gtp1vrUnn1wkZ3qmYGKWRBlmGg8uOVYs-X24ll-CdnSS5vJgZ_5iEnb2ck0Q8fDjXMAKfZTgqs2oa-blVwPU5_NnNeBeWU5tFe4sfX7QHA/s320/bert+collar.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He had a little difficulty eating his tea so I ended up holding it for him and for some reason he wouldn't stand and I had to hand feed him till he decided he wanted it. I have gone through a load of pasta, he loves it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You may notice the grey around the collar, we had to tape it up several times to keep it from dropping to bits. He crashed into all the doors several of which have no paint left on them. My legs are covered in bruises, you would think someone had whipped me with a stick, he couldn't judge the distance and would crash into you from behind. He did enjoy loads of cuddles and would sit with his head on your knee and go to sleep.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After several more visits to the vets and more antibiotics he was more or less given the all clear, he is 99% healed. The collar is used only for bedtime and then after another couple of days it is going in the bin. He is running around pinching slippers again and looks forward to his walks and meal times.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Boy am I glad, I have been totally stressed out and worried about him all the time. I have been told off for fussing over him too much, but I am sure all you pet lovers out there can identify with that. It's just so nice to see him back to 'normal'.</div><div align="center"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">This poor cat who we christened Fang had a bit of a deformed chin, it was much larger than it should have been and the two front canine teeth were longer than normal, one even came half way down his chin and he found it difficult to pick things up off the floor. He wasn't a skinny cat and he was very friendly, in fact he would sit by your side and lift his paw as if he was begging.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The complex Las Tabaibas was well looked after very clean and tidy and we were very central to shops, bars, restaurants etc and the sun shone the whole week just at the right temperature.

Nice and warming with a touch of curry spice. Lovely at this time of the year. If prepared with vegetable stock it is suitable for vegetarians.<br />
<br />
<div>2 pounds ( 900g ) of pumpkin flesh, cut into cubes</div>1 large onion, chopped<br />
1 large potato, peeled and cubed<br />
1-2 cloves of garlic, crushed<br />
1 flat teaspoon of curry powder, mild or medium strength<br />
1 bay leaf<br />
salt and freshly ground pepper<br />
3-4 cups chicken or vegetable stock<br />
1 tablespoon sunflower oil<br />
<div></div><br />
1. boil the pumpkin cubes and the bay leaf in some water until nearly tender <br />
<div>2. sweat the chopped onion in the oil until transparent </div><div>3. add the crushed garlic, trying not to burn it </div><div>4. mix in the curry spice and stir </div><div>5. pour the cooked pumpkin into the mixture </div><div>6. add potato cubes, stock and salt and pepper, simmer until cooked </div><div>Blend to a creamy consistency. </div><br />
I store this in plastic containers and as soon as it has gone cold I pop them in the freezer. Lovely served with crusty bread and a dollop of <span class="altText">Creme Fraiche.</span> <br />
<span class="altText"></span> <br />
<span class="altText">As well as a tasty meal, you can also make an item of jewellery out of the seeds! I cut the pumpkin in half and then scoop out all the soft squidgy bits along with the seeds, a bit messy but necessary. Wash the seeds in hot water, dry and spread them out on a baking tray which has been covered with silicon paper. Pop them into the oven at 100-110 degrees and leave them for about 30 minutes. Keep an eye on them, your oven is not very hot but they can go too crispy.</span> <br />
<span class="altText"></span> <br />
<div align="center"><span class="altText">HEY PRESTO!</span> </div><div align="center"><span class="altText"></span> </div><div align="center"><span class="altText">I coloured the seeds with alcohol ink, very carefully put a hole in the top, bent an eye pin and put that through the hole, as if you were going fishing and then dipped them in the Melt Pot. I think the orangey ones look a bit like Amber. You could go on and do a number of these and thread them into a necklace. It brought back a few memories for me making these. As kids we used to dry the melon seeds and make ourselves necklaces and bracelets. Mum would boil them with onion skins to colour them brown or use the flowers from Gorse bushes to make them yellow.</span> </div><div align="center"><span class="altText"></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCDV872j6PVOw6Azu_1DpWtBfKS4Th-dWRfU6eZwf45xcskreNykeYKkS_yp9PCe_JIxYa4Bvc3IrNshzEV8Y7GedN6-M7cxbZC3q7mpO8rgxKNwZUVlLfwcf7BSNE1xndesZYg/s1600/pumpkin+seed+earrings1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" ida="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCDV872j6PVOw6Azu_1DpWtBfKS4Th-dWRfU6eZwf45xcskreNykeYKkS_yp9PCe_JIxYa4Bvc3IrNshzEV8Y7GedN6-M7cxbZC3q7mpO8rgxKNwZUVlLfwcf7BSNE1xndesZYg/s320/pumpkin+seed+earrings1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<br />
My eldest daughter Rebecca is getting married in December at <a href="http://www.horsleyhall.co.uk/history.aspx">Horsely Hall</a> near Stanhope. A lovely setting although by then we may be under a covering a snow but we have been assured that the lane will be cleared by one of the many farmers that live around there so no guests should get stranded. Fingers crossed.<br />
<br />
The dress has arrived and is now carefully stored ready for the first fitting. Rebecca has created her bouquet out of beads and crystals, unfortunately I don't have a photograph of it finished I will have to update you later on that one, she is also doing the button holes herself. I have created the favor boxes and the wedding guest/photo album, I have also created one for myself, I am guilty of taking photographs and storing them on my hard drive and never printing but with wedding photo's I find it so much better to put a few in a nice little album for friends and family who don't attend to view. I also want to redo her cake topper on a smaller scale with more detail as I now know the design of her dress and headdress.<br />
<br />
I have posted some photographs of the finished albums, to view more on this post please follow this link. The full story appears on <a href="http://tinyurl.com/5usd88b">http://tinyurl.com/5usd88b</a><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">It is ages since I have updated my blog, I have been too busy with my new website but in an effort to put this right I thought I would show you my latest jewellery project. Chain Maille.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I got all my jump rings together along with the instructions for the piece I was going to make, Dragonscale. Unfortunately I just couldn't get it together. No matter how hard I looked at it and how many different instructions I looked at I couldn't get it to come right. After two days of getting so far and swearing at the jump rings I began to lose my temper so I decided to attempt another pattern instead. For the sake of my sanity.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This time I managed to complete and here is the evidence.</div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO5MozZ5_q71NZdHwsV5NTwBJX1p31-8JNBBfM-qRZH98i1d5-nhMk3CvVJCfBzAjFhkIMPCa_FQFqhvIRF5OXPC-mL8ADy9rjuPbJ8RF4rqM9bCjWxb6ucx84UJT1gi6EAypdAg/s1600/chain+maille.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO5MozZ5_q71NZdHwsV5NTwBJX1p31-8JNBBfM-qRZH98i1d5-nhMk3CvVJCfBzAjFhkIMPCa_FQFqhvIRF5OXPC-mL8ADy9rjuPbJ8RF4rqM9bCjWxb6ucx84UJT1gi6EAypdAg/s320/chain+maille.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">All set to go. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I knew I was missing one step from getting the pattern right but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what that was. I had to admit defeat on the Dragonscale but I can always revisit it at a later date and have another go.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqpRCUywCjXvQ3LOZr876FM_Okj8YPHGJzLnZxsKgj39r2cjNCK-RwrDkCmgsF-NVRWCzWOfkv9z2kzdBuZCJv0Hx1yOi0ZFK0AxiKC6Qd2jglaq6d1dthyphenhyphenFa38w9w7yWYipfVOQ/s1600/chain+maille2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqpRCUywCjXvQ3LOZr876FM_Okj8YPHGJzLnZxsKgj39r2cjNCK-RwrDkCmgsF-NVRWCzWOfkv9z2kzdBuZCJv0Hx1yOi0ZFK0AxiKC6Qd2jglaq6d1dthyphenhyphenFa38w9w7yWYipfVOQ/s320/chain+maille2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
This is the second attempt of getting something right and thankfully it worked out well. The pattern is a daisy and it has a total of six flowers each with six petals.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">The rings are made from non-tarnish wire and come from <a href="http://www.beadsdirect.co.uk/">http://www.beadsdirect.co.uk/</a> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Chain maille rings are not just your ordinary jump rings. These artistic wire chain maille rings are precision made and have the ideal temper for making chain maille designs and come in loads of different colours. You can also buy beginners and advanced books showing you lots of different designs and all come with instructions. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I was asked to make a Birthday cake topper for a little girl called Lucy. Lucy will be 3 years old at the end of August. She likes all of the Mr Men and the Little Misses.<br />
<br />
I began by deciding which of the bunch to make and finally settled on Little Miss Sunshine for her infectious giggle, Mr Happy as he is always happy, Miss Chatterbox as Lucy is always chattering and you can't get a word in edge ways, Mr Bump as he is so lovable and lastly Mr Tickle who likes everybody around him to laugh and giggle. Here is what I came up with.<br />

Bike washed, nice and shiny, shoes and boots polished all ready for the open road.<br />
<br />
I have really enjoyed creating this model, I hope it shows in the detail. The bike took a little thinking about but I am very happy with it. <br />
<br />
Although John & Denise have not named the day as yet, the model will be put to good use on display at Wedding Fayre's and then given to them for their big day as a present from me.<br />

He is holding onto the back of the bike (this also helped to steady things), he now has his hair and a flower in his lapel.<br />

She has a bouquet of lavender and white roses and very small pearl buttons on the back of her dress. She also has the same flowers in her hair. Now all that is left to do is give them both eyes to see the world, hope you like them so far.<br />
<br />

Now they can both see, shoes polished, tyres washed all ready for the big day.<br />

The back view, I only put a pedal on this side as the other was hidden by her dress. Hope you can see the pearl buttons down the back of her dress.<br />
<br />
<br />
And this is Fido .................... waiting for a game of ball. Little accessories can be added into the mix.<br />

First Wedding TopperThese toppers can be placed beside the Wedding cake. Smaller versions can be commissioned for on top.<br />
<br />
Bride and Groom, they look a little like aliens at the moment but all that will change........... I promise!<br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="200" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkTUF3CE1b-2FU_d4OoxAyojB3hI_aU4zG7o63ZmX35h0WOtzZkO4moekPABjbCry9V-1g9xiRUcNr7v1mb5tzAsbIcKoyRizAriauGK6l9jcawrZE-vlUSrS_xjFA6maSoboN5Q/s200/wd1.jpg" width="166" /><br />
<br />
I started to dress the bride, I had an idea what I wanted it to look like but by the time I finished the dress it looked nothing like the picture I had in my mind and sketched. I added small seed beads for detail over the bodice, around the bottom and on the back of the dress. She is armless but getting there.<br />
<br />

<br />
Next it was the flowers, a bouquet of red and white roses.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then on with the hair, hairstyles are not my strong point, never let me loose with a pair of scissors but with clay......... I don't think it looks too bad.<br />
<br />

<br />
and here he comes ...............<br />

No hands as yet, but not a problem.<br />
<br />

<br />
All I have left to do is his hair. The bride has a carrier bag by her side and he is playing on his Wii with the controller in his hand and the console by his side. The people behind these two models are my eldest daughter and her soon to be husband. He is an avid game player, hence the controller and the Wii console and my daughter used to be an avid shopper who loved designer labels but now they are saving for the wedding she shops for bargains at Primark.<br />
<br />
The finished happy couple, all ready for their big day.<br />

I can build into any model, hobbies, occupations etc to add that little bit of humour and individuality.<br />
