I've got the post-winter hibernation urge to do stuff, and part of that is making things. Not sure what yet.

What have you made recently? Post up pics.

I made a cheese and onion pie on Sunday but alas I took no photos of it.

I did however make this over Christmas and discovered that my close up eyesight is shot to bits.

Ooh. Let's hope you get to the right side of that 50/50. Enjoy it..!

The most recent thing was built to be invisible, but it'll be in everyones living rooms soon - and you won't see it.
The second most recent thing hasn't been photographed properly yet so I'll have to settle for the third most recent

To be fair most of it came pre-built but it was still pretty damn tricky fitting all the gizmoraty as I've come to think of it.

I've got into making bread. Proper bread.

I made a gate last year. From wood, not bread.

I also made some students pass their first lot of A level exams. Though they may have helped a bit too.

Some beer...

Was supposed to be a 6% Belgian, but some hiccups in the garage lead to a shortfall in quantity and a potential 9% monster.

(Only, I have a similar project in the pipeline)

spray the whole thing black with some games workshop matt black

then humbrol enamels for metalic colours

and games workshop acrylics with water for a wash to make it look grubier
and a light spray varnish from an art shop

you can get a good metalic shine to grunge effect using the humbrol metalcotes, you paint it on then buff it up with a soft cloth (the stuff in the recesses not buffed remains very diffuse and dark), blue acrylic wash works well on top of gunmetal. varnish to finish.

The fabric is for sale at [url= http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/995303 ]Spoonflower[/url]

I'm just proofing it at a slightly smaller scale which I think is a bit more useable though

I've made lots of sock animals but the tortoise/hare is my first reversible one
