Oh I've got a loverly bunch of coconuts....

There they are a-standin' in a row.
Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer 'ead!

OK....maybe I don't but 'I've got a lovely bunch of foxglove parts' just doesn't sound right....besides.... I've had this song in my head all morning so thought I'd pass it on - like to do my bit for the community and all that :-)

I spent all of yesterday making parts....uggh ! I actually hate to work like that but sometimes it just has to be done.


So now I have a slew of flowers, leaves and prepared bits of wire. I am not quite ready to start assembling yet.

These cone shaped things will become the flowers. These still need to be checked over for any bits of glue, have another coat of paint, be bashed up some, dotted and spotted in the centers, ends opened up and bashed some more.




The wires have all been cut to length, the ends curled over and then dipped in ZapAGap. This will make sure that the flowers won't fall off the wires.

And here is where I am up to so far on the main stems....still a ways to go yet but once all the bits are finished it will be quicker. The flowers stick out at funny angles because I haven't bent them down yet. I wait until the glue is totally dry before changing their shape.

Sorry the pics are so poor...I dunno what has happened to the sunshine. I was out walking at 6am and it was gorgeous but it is clouded over now :-(

Ignore the other bits of flowers you can see...they are rejects or bits I am playing with.

And there you have it.....doesn't actually look like much given it took so long :-(
