The Loughton Giant
Two layers of papier mache in and the giant's head is firming up nicely. One more layer of papier mache and he should be ready for painting. Can't wait to start the assembly process!

Mr. Toad Drives Again!
The indomitable Mr. Toad has offered a ride in his sports car as a lot in the Gifts and Promises Auction, this time to the Last Classic Car Drive of the Season on Sunday 6th September 2015. If you would like an outing with popular Mr. Toad, but can't make that particular date, he will take a 'rain check' for a similar outing on another occasion.
Giant Scarecrow
I'm attempting to build a giant scarecrow to add something new to this year's festival. I've started with the face, because if that does not work, the project is doomed. Here's stage one. The head, modelled in clay over a plastic and paper base, is nearly two feet high. It is covered in cling film, ready to add the first layer of papier mache.
Further details to follow.
Lonely Scarecrow Quilt Finished
I've just finished the quilt that I've been making as either a Raffle Prize or a 'gift' for the Gifts and Promises Auction. Its taken a lot of work and time, but I think it will make an acceptable contribution to the Scarecrow Festival.
