My Bottle Cap Man

You know how much I like to just make stuff. These were my offerings to jakki for her recent birthday, I think I've apologised enough before for my handmade take on presents!! I'm lucky that Jakki's not a shoes and handbag kind of gal, although I'm sure she wouldn't have minded some nice shoes! I also made a new memory jug in pink to go with the kitchen, but i need some decent photos of that. I just love these folk art/craft objects and I'll take any opportunity to have a go at some of them. I'm in the middle of making a double bottle cap figure to go in the garden somewhere, I'll put a pick on here when it's done.

His egg cup hat comes off to reveal a salt pot head that sits loose ready for use.

behind him is his smaller and slightly meek wife, who can hold a candle. Then there's a charity shop bird, cat and base construction, titled 'Ambition'. The pic in the front is just something i was experimenting with, i printed out the bunny character and cut it out and stuck it on this scene. I shall be doing many more of these, i think there's a lot of potential for some nice images. Finally, here are a couple of classic folk art bottle men that give me inspiration... i wish i owned them!
