AnonyMouse_19762 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Yes, I am starting to worry about all of you. Why? I see nothing to worry about at all :blink: Quote
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Just thought that would make a good addition to this thread! :rolleyes: Quote
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Like this? Please tell me you made that just now just for this thread! Just thought that would make a good addition to this thread! :rolleyes: Perfect! I think Cait should base her next trophy on Mr H! Was wondering - do you think, instead of a Marquee we should have a seriously posh garden shed? Or maybe a treehouse?! 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Well - outdoors would add a whole new challenge........ Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I just googled tinfoil trophy I'm afraid! Haha Quote
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Like this? We did something similar a couple of years ago we modelled dinosaurs from tin foil and then to jazz them up added PGA and tissue paper! Quote
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I just googled tinfoil trophy I'm afraid! Haha Well I have to say I am disappointed in you - along with Froglet I was sure that you had spent time on that just for the purpose of keeping us entertained Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I didn't want to commit to too much until it had met with approval. I was hoping to find others so we could decide between them. There's some bizarre things when you google tinfoil trophy! Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 We did something similar a couple of years ago we modelled dinosaurs from tin foil and then to jazz them up added PGA and tissue paper! Can we allow PGA ladies? Quote
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Well I have to say I am disappointed in you - along with Froglet I was sure that you had spent time on that just for the purpose of keeping us entertained I know! I'm not sure some people are as committed as they could be! I was planning to make a mock up of the entire set including the judges' shedlet when I got back from the weekend! 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Can we allow PGA ladies? Possibly except that I don't know what it is! Off to google tinfoil trophy now! Quote

AnonyMouse_8282 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Owwwhh The standards are high then! If they were my stones they'd have had cut out pictures PGA on (see how I slipped that in!) seriously though they are lovely. xx 2 Quote

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I think for my 9000th post I will start a thread for us all to post our artwork on, shall I? They are really good, are you using them for storytelling? Edited July 31, 2014 by Cait 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Well I think that's a very good idea, got a little while to wait then! p.s. doesn't everyone use PGA?? Edited July 31, 2014 by Panders 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I think for my 9000th post I will start a thread for us all to post our artwork on, shall I? They are really good, are you using them for storytelling? thank you ...my first attempt :rolleyes: Yes i wanted some for the book corner for the children to use but also thought i might use them to support story time as i have lots of sen and eal little ones . I started to do some for going on a bear hunt but they are proving tricky because i was just trying to use the 'backgrounds' ...i was ok until i got to the snowstorm then got stuck as to how to do white on white! I really fancy doing some on large paddle stones for the outdoors but can't get hold of any anywhere (my daughter and i were having coffee today in a cafe filled with them ,,,,nearly popped some in my handbag!) great idea about the post cait...i'll have to think up something special! 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 think i would have used glitter in some form for the snow, or drawn a huge snowflake or two in silver for the snowstorm scene 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Could you use sawn tree slices? good idea...i liked the idea of them being smooth but knowing some of my boys they might think they're frisbees! Quote
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 think i would have used glitter in some form for the snow, or drawn a huge snowflake or two in silver for the snowstorm scene yes think i've come to that conclusion too...wondered if it might not be 'obvious' enough for the little ones Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 How about a challenge 'make' a bit like ready steady, where contestants are given a few strange items and have to make something of them? Would we have ready mixed or powder paint do you think? Anyone got a preference? 1 Quote

I have indeed spotted these - WOW Finleysmaid far too sophisticated for me - I have struggled to use permanent marker for numbers on one set and cheated using shiny fish themed stickers on another - although I must say that my varnishing skills aren't too bad - or is it that with clear varnish you can't see the mistakes Cait please allow ready mix paint - I can't abide the smell of mixing powder paint especially the sulphuric stench of blue - also have I missed what PGA is?

AnonyMouse_30128 Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 thank you suej ...i'm not very artistic but ok at copying...the fox is a bit of an odd shape ! but like singing 3 year olds are every forgiving and tend not to pick fault with things so hopefully they'll enjoy them! (thinking i might make another set for our lending library) I'm with you on the ready mix...banned powder paint from my setting a few years ago after an incident with a member of staff and a full tub of blue powder!!!!! Perhaps we should have a quick fire round...a minute make like mister maker (he could be one of the judges!!...not quite up to the paul hollywood standard! ) Quote
