completely clay....

Hello hello! Long time no type, i have no excuses... over at Invergarry Lodge they have been blogging like mad, about time i caught up.... unfortunatley i have no tall tales of kayaks, mountain bike movies or devilish eggs, and i'm not even considered 95 % brilliant.......

However what i do have is some nice photos of a snowboarding ewok. Oh yes!! Thanks to Kay who is a photographer for the RAF, she spotted the wee ewok i made as a Christmas pressie for a lovely fella (who bears more than a slight resemblance to one, some would say....) and took him along to her studio for his photo oppertunity....the ewok not the fella....


How lovely to have some professional shiny glossy snaps hey hey!! Makes a change from my attempts with point and shoot, wobbly lamp and tea towel background... but hey, i shouldn't let out my trade secrets eh??

Wee ewok fella was made completely from clay, and that's not something i do all too often. Takes alot of time.... i do a few commissions a year for LVCC in clay and every now and again i might be persuaded to do something in clay for a customer if clay happens to be the best way to achieve thier request. On this note i've just finished a cake top for a couple who wanted to be depicted wearing thier desert army camoflage gear. This sounded like a good challenge to me and i thought it would work well, so i was happy to give it a go.... Groom is in the Royal Signals so he has an ariel sticking out of his backpack, while the bride is a doctor and has her red cross armband on.
Still time to make your orders for a cake top should you be thinking of one... i am off on a wee break from 24th May to around the 10th June, but if you get in touch now i can still cover those dates!!
