Blu-tac creatures

[zenwood]

In the shed the other day, and #2 son comes in every now and again with a cheeky smile on his face and a hand behind his back. 'What are you up to?" I said. He lifts up his hand to reveal a little blue-tac sculpture.

Don't you just love 'em!

[DJ’s Timber]

Cool, love em

talented little tyke.

That's a ripper mop of red hair he's got there. There's rascal written all over that one!

[AlexS]

They definitely have personality.

[RufflyRustic]

Hey Zen, What a talented son you have! :) :2tsup: Any chance he can make the lil creatures in clay?

Cheers
Wendy

[zenwood]

squashedfrog1: you should see his older brother's mop: almost shoulder length!
Ruffly: that's a good idea. Have to get him some clay to work on.

[RufflyRustic]

I can just see the menagerie sitting on top of your computer monitor :D

[squashedfrog1]

computer monitor? Market them like Beanie kids or whatever those things were and he's got it made!

Collect the set!!!


Then there'll be a movie, the dvd, the baseball cap, the soft toys and the kids lunch boxes..........

[zenwood]

talented little tyke . . . There's rascal written all over that one!
Actually not so little: he's 11 years old and taller than me!

He is indeed a rascal, though:)

"Movie, dvd . . ."? you're a born entrepreneur, SF.

[RufflyRustic]

I'd like to order a set of Tyke's Menagerie please :wink: :)

[echnidna]

I wonder if he could remake Gumby :stirthepot:

Well, we're off to get some clay tonight. Do you want to make an offer? :)

[RufflyRustic]

Sure, a swap or $? :)

cheers

Figure out a way of attaching them to say the top of a pen...(drilled hole will shrink after clay dries)

or attaching to a cheap plastic kids ring to make finger puppets

or a flat bottom to hang over a shelf or curve ridged bottom to sit on a cup or bowl.


Give them super cool names and a tag describing their personality.

Sell em at the next school fete.

[TTIT]

Stick with blu-tac and get him doing animations - those guy's he's made are super-cute and would be great in short films!:2tsup:

[rodent]

Get some poly clay for him then you can cook them in the oven and waza there solid.stick the eyes on later though .

[RufflyRustic]

My office is now the home to Tyke's Menagerie. The little cuties are happily settling in. They create a lovely little haze of white noise what with their chattering and gossiping which stops whenever someone comes into the office. :- :D

They still haven't deigned to tell me their names yet, but maybe when they get used to me they will:)

So, here they are, Tyke's Menagerie

Cheers
Wendy

[Groggy]

Errrr....

ummm......


That's a heffalump - right? :p

I reckon these "Tykes" will start appearing in offices everywhere.

[zenwood]

So, here they are, Tyke's Menagerie
They look good in their new home, and good to see they survived the journey. I think they were quite comfortable in their bed of wood-shavings.

:repplus:<--- this is the sculptor's seal of approval.

[RufflyRustic]

Indeed they were. The shavings are now in Skew's box below. Skew's box is now home to the Menagerie.

How cool is that!!:)

Cheers
