…(cheers for the title Frag’)….
…the squarish thingy with the figure on top is bro’ in-law Steve’s (significant) birthday gift and his “cake” decoration….
…twine wound in two directions around a custom made cardboard box, over a plain brown paper wrapping….glued on all edges and across centre of flat surfaces to frustrate any attempt at cutting….pinned at corners whilst drying to keep edge twine in place….
…hand written instructions added….
…two or so hours to “wrap”….
…some beer may have been involved….
….”brown paper parcels all tied up with string…(er…”twine”)….these are a few of my favourite things” – Mary Poppins….
…but possibly not Steve-o’s….(any more)….
…(note sticking-plaster over twine-cut)….
…at least twenty minutes of family entertainment….
…and the present?…
…800 Twinings Earl Grey teabags….
…(Twinings…twine…get it?)….
…and a giant Belgium biscuit instead of a cake….
…tea…check…biscuit…check…golfing reference….check….
…successful first project from the new work bench.
Bored with a record shop. 
An excellent piece of birthday fuckery, and you’re welcome for the title 🙂
…thank you Frag’…fuckery is my middle name…
I knew that 😀
Oh, Mr. Darcy, I am undone!
…ah…that’ll be because you started with tab “A”….
I may have to add this wonderful ‘twine wrap’ to may repertoire of ‘fun’ gift wrap.
….patience is the key, Keri…patience and PVA glue….and pins….um….did I mention patience?….
Still throwing out those likes! Thank you! Hope all is still going well for you post record store. Ever miss it?
…I miss not having the time to sit on my ass and blog!!!….slowly building up to a creative spurt….just a few more structural changes and I’ll be cooking with gas again…love your stuff…it’s one of the things that keeps me visiting word press on a regular basis….gotta seem all!…
Thank you! Likewise, I really enjoy checking your art out too… wish I could make stuff like that, but I guess I’ll stick with stick figures. Nearing the end anyway. The idea is to hit 1000 and then stop.
…..noooooo….don’t stop….(or maybe start on 1000 stick pony cartoons)….
I’ve tried doing more Stick Pony but the wee fecker is impossible to write for! I will try and work him/her/it into something else though.
