Garlic, Grapes and Watermelons

We made some garlic.

 Together more then 100 cloves.

We made some extra for our dollshouses.

Here is how it is on a string hanging on our carts

 The grapes we made last week together.

I made some watermelons too for my mum and me.

 Our fruitcarts are almost finnished.

 I still want to make patatoes, i have a little spot for that left and ofcourse a lady who sells the fruit.

Next week we are going to make paper bags together.

And i want to paint my scale, my mother love the original color so she glued it already to the cart. 

My mum was not happy with the color of her pears, so she painted them.

Oh how i love these evenings with my mum and i am so happy we have the same hobby.

A apple a day keeps the doctor away

 My mum and i, even when we make the same fruit, it still looks diffrent.

 We used the same color fimo.

Tinted it with calk before baking.

After baking and cooling down, we give it a coat of gloss varnish.

 My mum made pears. (sorry for the blurry photo)

 I made paprika's.

 I love the colors together.

 I made a half crate of little tomatoes.

 I did not glue the boxes to the cart yet, so i can change the combination if i want.

Do you like it so far?

Any questions....please don't be shy and ask.

Banana boxes and a greengrocer.

My mum and i glued together the bananaboxes that i printed earlier.

I saw them at a site more then a year ago and printed them on my work.

Sorry girls and guys, i don't remember were they from.

If you have them on your site or know were you can find them, please let me know.

Then we painted a part of the inside a matching color.

So you don't see the white when they are filled.

 I made a little crate also and ofcourse my mother is 10 or better say 20 steps ahaid and she made the perfect man to sell her fruit and veggies.

 She made him out of Fimo with a flexable body.

 Dressed him with a nice sweater, jeans and a cap. all made by herself.

 Look at his shoes aren't they fit for standing a long time?

She used barbie shoes and painted them.

 He has a moustache (and hair) from real hair.

 I love how she made his jeans, they even got pockets.

 I have to make a man or woman too for my cart, but i don't think mine is a beautiful as this guy.

I am not good in making dolls.

But i give it a try anyway.

You only get better in doing things by practice it a lot.

Bey bey, see you next time.

Day 2 of the fruit carts

 Our carts.

 Mums cart

 My cart

 from above

We had a lot of fun last night.

Me with another layer and mum with her high closs finish.

We both made letters. We tryed to put the rub on letters on, but it was not sticking that well.

So we had to paint over it to fill in the gabs, now you can read the letters.

They are not perfect at all, but i kind of like it.

Next week we are going to make the crates and the middle part to hold the crates in an angle.

Day one of our fruitcart project

 Yesterday we started at our (my mum and i) new project.

We stained the handcarts we bought at the fair.

My mother also bought the wooden thing, that goes on top of the cart to make a sign.

I am gonna make one myself, because i want it a little smaller.

There are tree layers of stain, i think i have to sand it a little to get rid of the drippings and make it look older.

My mum want to let the car shine, so she is going to give it one or two layers of lack.

This cart is mine, do you see the dripping? 

Can't wait to make all the fruit and veggies from fimo.

But i have to wait, it is our together project and we only work on it ones a week.

Hugs
