Spoon Knifes and Spoonfest

So over the last few weekends me and a friend of mine attended Spoonfest in Edale.  This event was a first of its kind promoting spoon carving.  So before we left we experimented with making some of our own spoon knifes. A little bit of amateur blacksmithing, if you can call it that.  Bloody good fun.  Had a great time at Spoonfest and met some amazing people, cant wait for next year.  But until then a few pictures of our blacksmithing attempt!

 

She's all Done!

All the pollys that Ive been working on for such a long time are now finished.  Semi rigid Casts were taken from the original molds from the film Pirates in an Adventure with Scientists, and reassembled and posed.  Some resculpting had to be done and a whole set of new molds made. Ten Casts were then produced and painted and final assembled.
The original sculpt was done by Andrew Bloxham and the wonderful paint job by Ruth Mitchell of makeupandmodels-http://rmmakeupandmodelmaking.wordpress.com
I hope you like them!
