I want to ride my bicycle!

Hello there! I am just checking in to say a quick hi - as usual things are pretty hectic this time of year for all of us crafters!
I thought I would share a few little things I have been working on lately. They are quite different in a way from what I usually make, but on the other hand maybe not so, as everything is made from found materials.

It all started when I had a special request for a bike card.....

I had so much fun making this first creation...


...that I had to make another - Chopper style!


By now I was getting quite addicted to making these simplified machines!


This was another order for a man who loves motorbikes.

 And my favourite of them all.
 After seeing the 2 dimensional original on my Facebook page, a customer asked for a more 3-D sculpture. I wasn't sure it was going to be possible....

...but with the aid of some railings, I managed to fix and hold the bike together.

I loved branching out a bit with these little items. Back to Christmas products now.
Back soon!! xx

  11. Pretty creative bike cards! :) The motorbike is a star. Good job and hope you'll get to ride real bikes soon. For a good start, get some sporting products for bikes, such as helmets and other basic items.

  13. The Tadpole design is also known as a Reverse Trike that has two wheels in the front and one in the back. In most cases, the back wheel is driven and the front wheels are used for steering. However, some tricycles have reverse features too. adult tricycles
