A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I've finished my pottery neanderthal Christmas village. It's out of the kiln. As you can see, it's exactly as cavemen would have lived at Christmas, in little mud huts with thatched roofing to match their messy hair, next to giant toadstools which are almost as big as fir trees. It is on top of my piano as neanderthals like music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I love the thatch! Do the houses have tea lights in them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Electric tealights to avoid neanderthal fires on the piano. The thatch is clay pushed through a tiny extruder (garlic press). Such a fun way to kill a garlic press! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 It's well easy. Coil pots, and a garlic press, then some wadding-stuffing popped over some tupperware. WELL easy! But thanks! I like them. Even though they look like they were made by a nine year-old... (Actually, most of my stuff looks like it was made by a nine year-old... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Personally I feel that 9year old art is under-rated............... Gorgeous little houses and are the toadstools yours too? Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Gorgeous! You really are clever Achicky...! I much prefer yours to those Victorian type villages. Yours is more realistic & Christmassy! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Thanks CHP! Sha - I cheated and bought the snow, candles, toadstools and trees. Ssssh! Don't tell! Although I did decide to make some toadstools in pottery which need painting and things. Toadstools and garlic press stuff is the way forward. I wasn't impressed with the glaze on my plate. Going to focus on making woodland tat instead of crockery next term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
