My apologies, Graham. I was hoping to get to Mildenhall, but was tempted with earning money!

I hope the day goes really well.

Just got back from the day, what a nice pleasant & fun group it was too. Really enjoyed the banter with the face painters, just a fun day & thanks to Thelma for the lecture. It was great with every model being usable & reasonable easy to make,
I will be stocking her new CD on the website & will try & put it on ASAP.
It was nice that we had a big group for the meal at the end as well even though it was a bit of a wait for the food.
Will put some pictures up as well over the next couple of days for those that did'nt make it.

Thanks to all who hepled keep the place tidy & brought the cakes, also a thank you to Oaktree for supplying the free nosh that was very nice.

Thanks to everyone who came along yesterday, I thoroughly enjoyed the day & hopefully others did as well.

We have Thelma wearing my giraffe hat which I believe is a variation of Bonnie Davis who is "The Star Interviewer" this week. This is going to be the model of the month for July.
The second picture is Thelma's dog head made from a distorted heart & below is my attempt with a body added as well.

Some more pictures from the day;
Thelma just before the lecture.
Some of the motely crew
The face painting girls, well when I say girls what I actually mean is ? :lol:

Last few pictures unless anyone else has any?

Someone made the kangaroo hat but I dont know who to credit. Anyone Know?
My attempt at Thelma's elephant.
Will who is only 13 made the ray gun with a variation on the handle, a nice polite lad

Cheers for a lovely day yesterday and sorry we had to eat and run but we were late back as it was  :roll: I can't use my dining room table at the mo as it is covered with balloons that I want to have a go at before I forget how to do them as it is the only place where the kids will leave them alone (well for now anyway)!!

I think the Kangaroo was Adam's btw.

great photos Graham.

I love the giraffe hat!  & will have a go at some point.

danny

yay! thats my gun! lol  

Wow that didn't take you long!!! You were only saying last night about getting on here and now here you are!

Yes, it's my 'kangaroo' hat... up until now I called it a 'dinosaur' hat!  Maybe we should vote on it...

Well I think the consensus yesterday was that it looked like a Kangaroo - sorry hadn't realised it was a dinosaur  :oops:
