Hoopla

A selection of material from our current project. We have finally found something we agree on to decorate the lounge wall with. These, along with a few more hoops, will be hung hopefully in a creative way.  No doubt the hoops will be moved, replaced, updated over time, but it will be good to finally have something on the wall.

The slinky sausage dog

This was a present for the family living in the currently very cold and snowy Scotland. When making things like this it is usually the eyes that get the most debate and her luscious lashes have definitely given her character.  She was very happy seductively slouched on the chair before being sent up to Scotland where she has a less luxurious life stuck to a door stopping those cold drafts.

The penguin piñata

We make piñatas for my nieces and nephews every year.  This penguin is one of my favourites, I like the way he seems to be guarding the ball of string as if it was an egg. Sadly the life of a piñata penguin is short and usually ends tragically; not long after this photo was taken he was smashed to pieces by a hoard of screaming kids who went on to eat his insides.
