Chris Head Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Maybe there is a Potato in my family tree? I might have a go this evening. Perhaps we could have a theme and the mods could be the judges? What's the prize?Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vickybear Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Yes, his legs are corn on the cob holders, his tail and mane are a pair of curtain tassles and his eyes, nose and mouth are pins!! Now you have all my secrets!As for Darth Vader Potato Head, has nobody else noticed he's an egg??? What an imposter!!I'll second the idea of having a contest for home made 'anythings'. The winner should receive EVERYTHING that's been entered. Cassis - you must be a posh bird if you've never shopped at Wilko's! ( hope you are a bird! )Must go, got to sort out my empty Squeezy bottle and the sticky back plastic for later. Got some friends coming round, we're all going to have a go at something and post the results on here.......come on everyone, go for it!By the way....this is the second day in a row I've not been bored!!

Christine Animal Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I used to love them as well Pads, but thought it was called Potato Face, maybe our memories are not so good, or maybe there were different kits :http://www.allensinc.com/coins/supplies/books/funny_face_-_an_amusing_history_of_potato_heads_block_heads_and_magic_whiskers.htmTo be be even less bored WVW, you could sell them on the market afterwards along with Mrs. Gupta and her fake cats (you'll have to do a search on here to find her...).

You bought that in WILKO's. Stop trying to cheat.[/quote]I resent the implication that I am cheating here from KKK. I got the idea of these from a thing my brother in law had in his garden. I don't know where he got it. Maybe he goes to Wilko's.I photographed it and have copied it with of a ball of cement mix and laid over with some modelling stuff. I have made other models, all variants on the original. I have just made another this afternoon with a bowler hat. Here he is. He is not weathered yet, so you can see he is new.[img]http://www.normandie-chambres.co.uk/pics/MPommedeTerre2.jpg[/img]He is not a potato. He is a lump of rocky stuff that resembles a potato. I hope that does not count as cheating. I hope KKK can be big enough to apologise. AND remove her other suggestion of me cheating from another thread. That is not nice. Otherwise my rock men will be very upset and may pay her a visit. Don't mix with the rock men. Unless you are a cement mixer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 And would you like to share with us how you made the mould? I am sure someone will correct you if you are fibbing.And why do people assume you are a woman Cassis? I believe that is the second person this week. Does it worry you at all?[:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 You're not funny, KKK. Why do you think you are?There is no mould. You shape a lump of mortar into a rough ball. Let it set. Then you stick on some stuff called DAS and make your head. Use cocktail sticks and spoons and knives and stuff to model it. Use your imagination. If you have one. Let the head dry. Throw it at KKK.You can't admit to being wrong, can you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 [:-))]I take it you havnt got many bookings in this week then Cassis? Try French Connections, they have a good name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Not sure why you should conclude that - another example of your flawed logic. And poor humour. I should remind you you started this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 So you really made it then?? Well if that is the case I take it ALL back with my hands in the air and I think so far you are the champion on this thread Cassis. Well done. A work of art.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassis Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Ah, wait and see what appears on the stick after we win the Cup.[:D]I'm making some more heads today as I've been doing a bit of wall rendering (as per usual). Here is the roughcast stage. Any ideas what I sould finish them as? I was thinking maybe a cowboy and an native American (got to be PC, you know) but I think an Indian - I mean, Native American - headress might be beyond me ...[img]http://www.normandie-chambres.co.uk/pics/newheads.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pads Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 make a dog one with long floppy ears and you can name him after billy and you could make a long sausage one to hold your flag when you get rid of it ......[:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickybear Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Well Cassis, I apologise for thinking you were a woman!! It was the truly exceptional nature of your works that led me to believe they had been created by a higher species.I mentioned earlier in the thread that I would be making my next creation out of an old washing up liquid bottle and some sticky back plastic and here it is................ Personally Cassis, I too would resent any implication that I was cheating!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 CassisWhy don't you make heads based on the members on here. I'm sure Katie would love you to make a cement head based on her.[:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickybear Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 How do I make my photos bigger? I'm using Photobucket.com and they all come out this size!You cannot appreciate how truly great my latest creation is unless it is bigger....honest injun.........( oops ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Dotty - move those two in the photo closer together and you get something approaching KKK but not half as nice.[:)]WVW that is a wonderful achievement with the plastic washing up bottle and the sticky back plastic. Do I see you've used a loo roll as well, for the hat?How odd that Red Indian is okay but injun is not. I don't use Photobucket but lots of others here do so should be able to help.

Cassis Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 WVW - just had a look at the full picture. Wonderful achievement. And I can see that no loo rolls were harmed in the making of this creation.I've just opened a Photobucket account and stuck some pictures in it to see what happens. It kept the original picture size, which is actually too big for this forum, as it would push the width of the page out and make it so you had to scroll sideways to read the posts.By clicking 'Edit' above the image in Photobucket you have a number of editing options, but you can only reduce the image size. I don't know why your image is coming out so small here, other than the fact it appears to be a dwarf.Here's an image that was originally 1280px width, reduced to half that width by the Photobucket editing tool.[IMG]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i26/cassiscassis/d59a8c0d.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
