Guess the shape time! Taking down a shelf in my kitchen resulted in peeling paint. It peeled and peeled. So naturally I continued the peeling and then drew a picture. What do you see?

Been a busy time the last few months but I’m so happy to be able to show you all this most recent project in quick time. The lovely guys Jack and Ross at @yateshellier estate agents commissioned me to make a bunch of stripey hot air balloons for their brand new shop window in Hyndland Road. Such a lovely concept. I reckon they look pretty dashing and the guys were delighted. A beautiful new addition the road. Best of luck with the new venture! Posted @withregram • @yateshellier We’re absolutely thrilled to finally open the doors of our new home at 149 Hyndland Road. This move has been a while in the making, and to say that we’re delighted with the final outcome is an understatement. Our custom-built window display is our favourite feature, and we hope you’ll feel right at home with our living room-styled interior. We’re looking forward to continuing to support local, and championing Hyndland and the surrounding districts. Please drop in and say hello if you’re passing by; our amazing sales and lettings team have settled into their new home and are ready to help with your next move. We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all involved in this project.

I generally try to watch shows I’ve made stuff for and get a kick out of seeing them on the big or wee screen. Watched the series Dinosaur on the iPlayer and thoroughly enjoyed it. I made these naked, homemade-looking, slightly wonky wedding cakes for set decoration (to be decorated with flowers and fruit by set dec). Made of tasty upholstery foam sponge and caulking cream. Delicious! Sadly, I never saw them in the background but I did enjoy making them.😄🎂😋

I don’t know whether these little guys made it to the big screen but they wanted other little stone toys and figurines to be placed on some Neanderthal graves, I believe. I had a lot of fun doing a bit of research and making these little guys. They are buffalo/cows, dogs, mammoths, moles, fish and finally the fabulous booby fertility mamas in the very first g-string.

It is inspired by “The Lion Man”, an ancient ice age stone carving discovered in the 1930s and thought to be the oldest representation of art ever found. A Jesmonite casting to look like stone or ivory. He stands about 10 cm tall. I like him.
Is he a bear or is he a lion, you decide? #outofdarkness #stoneagemovie #stoneagehorror #darkness #horror #carving #jesmonite #bear #lion #moulding #casting #scotland #scottishfilm #highlands #propmaking #props Next up for the Out of Darkness props selection is the bone discs. I know these definitely got in because they are featured in the trailer. Cut from a real sheep’s scapula found in a field somewhere, I moulded, cast in resin and then carved 12 progressive versions of the disc. Unfortunately, these weren’t all used as they changed the carving design of the drawing and used the blank ones I supplied. They look pretty good though. They liked the discs so much that they asked if I would make 100 of them in the new carving design for crew gifts. I was quite chuffed. So, 100 very thin castings later, I had a big pile of discs. I hope the crew liked them.

Can you tell which thing is not like the other by the time I finish this song?🎵
Out of Darkness, Stone Age horror movie, that I made some small props for, over three years ago is finally out in the UK. This job was one of my first professional propmaking jobs and is still one of my very favourites. I now have to sum up the courage to go and watch it. Yey, I’m a woose when it comes to horror! 😱 Big thanks to Gordon Rogers @gorrgrs and Jamie Lapsley @jamielapsleydesign for giving me the opportunity! First up are some rubber flint daggers. My very first soft action prop weapon. One of them is the real thing, can you tell which one? Art Director @gorrgrs Set Decorator @tonerartgirl Construction @prettyscenicglasgow Propmakers @pigsticksprops @wyshcreative Rockface moulds supplied by the amazing @z0mbiem0nkey This week on the BBC’s Great British Menu, you got to see Scottish chef, Kevin Dalgleish of Aberdeen’s Amuse restaurant, compete against his peers for
the second year and guess who made his props?? Yes, that’s right, me! Sadly Kevin didn’t make it through to final but he made a cracking effort. Finally, the last course and the last prop to show is the dessert and Rugby gets a shout out with Kevin’s take on Peach Melba. A Paris Olympics 2024 Rugby Sevens Logo platter with tiny rugby ball and goal posts. You can take your chances of a goal AFTER you’ve eaten please! With a further nod to Hawick Rugby Club, who started the Rugby Sevens and is Kevin’s home town and to the late, great rugby legend, Doddie Weir, as their tartans don the post pads at the base of the rugby posts. A nice little tribute. . #greatbritishmenu #greatbritishmenu2024 #kevindalgleish #kevindalgleishchef #scottish #props #propmaking #gbm #gbm2024 #amuserestaurant @amusebykevindalgleish @kevindalgleishchef #bbc #bbc2 #optomen |
