National Trust Volunteers are also knifty knitters.

 High tea crated by the kniffty knitter volunteers of the National Trust

 My second National Trust visit in a matter of a few weeks and to my surprise this little or should I say rather large high tea was on display at Mottisfont.

The gardens where beautiful, bloom about to happen and this if you like was the icing on the cake.

 Knitted strawberry's, and hand stitched cream.

 Patch work tea pot.

 The letter above was the only reference of the knit, sadly no names to google.  But still worth the look and blog title knifty knits as really there was a heap of effort and technique gone into this display;-)


Below, my favourite the knitted sandwich's.

 Knitted fruit and biscuits and my second fave the Swiss roll, almost edible you have to agree?

Pullmax Eckold mixed to Pullckold !!!!

yes  hello evry metalshapers, i m french metal shaper, like evrybody knows the eckold machine is one of the best shrinker stretcher machine, but the price of this machine is too bad for little crafstman, usually only  big company can buy eckold machine with the tools, i really respect Eckold for the quality tools , there is Marchant company they make shrinking machine too, there is Erco TCE similar to Marchant, but for a  little company its impossible to pay around 25 to 30 000 us dollars for a piccolo with tools.
so years after years , i create  some machine , and years after years   i buy some used eckold tools, but no eckold piccolo.
but i  work many time on my Pullmax (p 21) this machine in europ  is at correct price  (1500 to 3000 euros )
for used machine , sure .
a day i see a trimmer Pullmax, this is a very rare machine, i buy it, and decided to convert  this machine with her big throat to  a Pullckold   hahaha , yeah  Pullmax + Eckold = Pullckold.
so you can see some details of my conception.

yu can do the same thing with a simple Pullmax  P5 or P7 more easy to find, but you need to cut the body for have better throat...

                                          this is the adaptater  for pullmax and eckold

                                     this is  the original Eckold  base

             this is assembled tools with a center screw and two  point control

                                  i create a new fixation for the original trimmer head,
                                  like this i can always use my trimmer for regular pullmax work

                                                                         

                                   i will sending to you more details soon                      

head light circle for eureka pedal car

                                                               
                             
                              just a little work of metal shaping, this cool headlights have no circle  .
                              so i decided to make new one.
                              you can see the simple technic for make it..

Welcoming the Queen head

My latest graffiti banner the Queen on her 1st class stamp. just in case your vision is not as abstract as mine.

My best description would be.................
Warhol meets anxiety with a little Quinton Blake illustration.

http://www.quentinblake.com/en/meet-qb/bio

Quentin black illustration/meets Sid Vicious , sex pistols art work crossed with a little Andy Warhol's pop art and Marilyn is the one that springs to mind.

Below Marilyn my version of a crocheted stamp super sized.

Jubilee 60

Whats happening locally near you.?

I decided to show a little patriotism and here is how.

Not sure where my opinion sits on a Royal family but I'm not getting
political this is a creative fun dare I say arty blog.

The way I see it is that anyone who's being doing the same job for 60 years
needs a big celebration, so I'm letting my self be part of it......
