 Last couple of days in the workshop have been spent sprucing up my old and very tired looking bedside cabinet and a wee table. The cabinet was a rather boring 80s looking veneered chipboard affair and now...so I’ve been told...it’s would look comfortable in a Mexican restaurant. No eating tacos in bed though! Think of the crumbs!😳 Gee wilikers, help ma boab.😯 Tomorrow I am going to add some gold motifs. Oh yes I am!

 Today, I have been mostly casting pewter metal. Ooh, I like it! 🔥🔥🔥 Pewter has a very low melting point so a hot plate was more than sufficient heat. Oooooh, the things I could make....🤩 Lock up your old tankards I’m comin’ for ye!😂 . #pewter #lowmeltingpoint #metalcasting #hotplate #siliconemould #heatresistant #hothothot #pewtercasting #making #propmaking #tvprops #newtechniques #experimenting
March 10, 2021 at 05:57PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CMP1dknrdOg/  Today’s teeth. Only stage one of the process. I have a theory of how to go about what I’m trying to do. It is so far still very theoretical but hopefully it’ll work. I do like to experiment. Probably making things more complicated than they need to be but that’s my penchant and prerogative. Why do things simply, what’s the fun in that??

Made a Surge Arms fake pub sign (suitably creepy graphics by talented Surge friend and lunatic fringe Steve Vertigo). The shape is based on the Slaughtered Lamb pub sign from the classic film American Werewolf in London. I’m not a horror fan in the slightest but I do love certain ones, that’s a cracker right there. . And today I’ve also been making some teeth. It’s a funny old game this.
Check out @surgescotland for their final online live cabaret at The Surge Arms on 1st April from 9pm. It’s a hoot and full of marvellous bizarity. Get it on a Zoom near you. Not an April Fool...well I don’t think so... . Of course it will only be the final one unless we go into lockdown again.😳 mixingitup #propmaking #props #tvprops #fakepub #gerouttamypub #surgearms #justforfun #surge #surgescotland #onlinecabaret #finalcabaret #aprilfool? #livecabaret #stevevertigo #teeth #faketeeth #americanwerewolfinlondon #slaughteredlamb #slaughteredlambpub #pubsign March 09, 2021 at 07:57PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CMNeUfmlft1/  Expanding foam is fun and can be unpredictable. Nailed it with this one though! 🤟What a nice little foam ball. Maybe I should frame it.

Today I have been mostly painting a dinosaur. A real dinosaur!! Well, ok it’s maybe a fake skeleton. I actually have an irrational fear of dinosaurs, had it ever since Jurassic Park which everyone finds hilarious. Dinosaurs and zombies..cannae abide them, I think that’s actually quite rational. Dino skeletons are fine though.

They are actually 2 matching pairs, not odd.😂 Toes will be toasty this winter! Apologies for blinding anyone with my peely waley legs, they haven’t seen any sun since 2018.

Yes, gravel. . But why, I hear you say? Well, it’s proven quite difficult to drill holes in gravel of course but if you make it out of something much softer it’s a doddle. . But why do you need to drill holes in gravel, you continue to ask? . . . It’s theatre darling...it’s theatre...*whimsical pose ?♀️ . #theatre #propmaking #props #costume #making #casting #mouldmaking #jesmonite #plaster #gravel #propmaker #drillingholes @jesmonite_ltd January 29, 2021 at 06:24PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CKo4rN1FxLK/  I usually make tablet at Xmas time but it didn’t happen this year. Finally got round to it today to use up a tin of condensed milk that’s been sitting in the cupboard since the previous year. I’m generally trying to consume less dairy so I only have soya milk and dairy free marg in the fridge but I’m very pleased to say that it still worked no bother with the alternatives. Next try is to make dairy free condensed milk - Google says there are recipes using soya or coconut milk. Thing is, I have to give it away to folk as I will die if I keep this to myself so anyone wants any give me a shout. I’ll try and give it away to my neighbours though. . You’ll need to excuse me now whilst I go into a sugar coma after scarfing all the pot scrapings...😳
