#256. Fountins
Been playing with this idea for too long for project Junkstop and now nearly complete… it will join two more sets to complete the sculpture and go outside for the two week New Mills Festival.

#204. Uncurtain
An homage to #75 this time curtain hooks on an elastic band and not as good…

#118. Transformer.
Had fun with 25 multi sockets as they were on offer at local supermarket at 25 pence each… Impressed my son with this one when I lit it up . This one looks a lot better in real life.
#114. Tin can meet.
I’m weirdly quite proud of this one, despite being made with Sellotape… Round becomes flat becomes round…
#111. Yogurt stats
This combines my two recent passions yogurt pots and my site stats…sad I know.
#104. Chutney tower.
Not very everyday in my house, but couldn’t resist buying these chutney pots – 8 for a pound…. drilled and botled together….Similar to Brancusi’s ?
