I like the idea jr77 but sadly (I wish I could explain) it doesn't work like that. I just have to keep going and I will get there.
I really liked the material ones too Lobby but they were polystyrene - I might have a go at those nearer to the next C time. There is some wonderful fabric around although, if I am not careful I will have as big a stash of material as I do paper.
It is panic Ephemera but I am determined to get past it. Actually a trip to your lovely blog for some inspiration might well help! I just wish someone locally ran a short class because that would get me past the first bit but sadly it's gone very out of fashion and either I am very behind the times or at the beginning of a new wave. I wonder if it has actually been absorbed into altered art.

My daughters had these years before they were on Create and Craft, one did a teddy bear and one a cat and blow me I am sure I still have them somewhere in the house. They took them absolutely hours and it was bliss as they were totally absorbed in getting them just right. At the time they were only about 6 or 7 years old, I can just see them being aimed at that age group now - Health and Safety would have a seizure at 6 and 7 year olds sticking sharp pins into a polystyrene shape even with adult supervision lol.
How true Morgana. But then it's a wonder my generation survived into adulthood as we used to do such daring things, like actually going out of the house and getting excercise!
