I watched the wedding of Cate Middleton to Prince William and was tempted to make a copy of the wedding dress in 1:12. Have been too busy so far, but maybe I will get around to it. I do have amulti pattern I made and promoted some time ago.
It was interesting how commoner Cate is now called Catherine and wore her ancestors clan heraldry in her earrings.
She started out as a commoner, and now history is being re-written.

We've been playing with ideas.!
Creativity begins with a blank page. Ideas don't always materialize straight away.
For me, creativity is often sparked by an idea, a picture, a natural object.
Recently I saw a tv program on "close the gap" which is a philanthropic organisation dedicated to helping close the poverty gap between aboriginal and white societies.
It had some big sporting names and heaps of public servants irrelevant white paper pages. I nearly gave up.
BUT THEN I saw their Schaffers. so what is a schaffer? it is a squashed round wood object with two legs. A South Australian company called screamdance.com created a competition for artists to make a group of schaffers for an art exhibition and for sale to help the close the gap cause.
They held their first sale last June.
So I started playing and created Smirks .. who are very smirky. "smirky smirks" they make you smile. they are made of clay or sawdust and glue, or wood ...whatever ..
a similar flattened ball with legs.
They spark the imagination. and ignite creativity. and these could create quite a cash cow for a deserving charity. So here are some of my Smirky Smirks. Here' a few pics.
contact me for fundraising ideas.
