I stopped by he shop this morning and this is what I learned:<br /><br />- for the bits I used for the bowls of the planters, search: "spacer bead caps." You should find what you're looking for among the search results.<br /><br />- the metal parts that make the feet of my planters are apparently called "earring stoppers." You can get at least a hundred for a dollar...<br /><br />Have fun. :)Ana Polanscakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475924332253440189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579010104915193980.post-16404701127716868302015-05-01T14:23:01.662+02:002015-05-01T14:23:01.662+02:00Thanks for this Ana :) if you're visiting the ...Thanks for this Ana :) if you're visiting the art shop again that would be wonderful!

For the rings, search "...Thank you, Chris. :)<br /><br />For the rings, search "jump rings." They come in different diametres and weight, and if you know exactly which diametre you need add it to the search (e.g. 3mm, 4mm - mine are about that size). When looking for beads, the key words are "beads oval wood plastic." As you will probably notice when you see the search results, there are many Chinese sellers who offer these materials. The Chinese usually offer free international shipping, regardless of the amount ordered.<br /><br />The elements I used for easy planters are a mystery to me, because I don't know how or for what they are originally meant to be used. The labeled bags they came in are of no help, since they read "plastic beads" and "metal elements" - vague descriptions at best. I picked them up at a local art&craft shop. So if you wish, I could stop by there next week and ask the shopkeeper to identify the items.

I love the tone and creativity of your conversions and the atmosphere of your game world. Lovely stuff :) I also have the Gardens of Morr(skulls) on my workbench - I'm a big fan of the GW plastic terrain but this set takes things to a very silly level. <br />I love the urns and planters - a great use of craft parts! The urns would come in handy as part of a market I have planned also - can I ask what I would need to search for to find the various parts you've use on eBay? The names/sizes of the various beads and rings? <br /><br />Once again, many thanks for the wonderful inspiration you've given :)Deserterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05632775792103986037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579010104915193980.post-26597562705930222052015-03-30T17:00:57.468+02:002015-03-30T17:00:57.468+02:00Thanks! :)

Perhaps, in the process, you'll think of something that will improve the idea, and then I can steal that from you. :P<br /><br />@ Frothing Muppet - I considered leaving the gaps there, and it would have worked out. But patching it up was a more challenging path - which meant a greater sense of accomplishment in the end. Don't worry, there will definitely be rust present in the paintjob.Ana Polanscakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475924332253440189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579010104915193980.post-70661056358392893622015-03-19T11:15:53.332+01:002015-03-19T11:15:53.332+01:00Great looking, and very clever, little bits and bo...Great looking, and very clever, little bits and bobs mate.<br /><br />With the fence, I almost would have left the gaps in the railings from where you had removed the skulls, or deliberately repaired them to suggest the metal had snapped/rusted away to suggest an aged and worn set of fences.LWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769460904008281915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579010104915193980.post-16301233000874628502015-03-19T08:24:51.595+01:002015-03-19T08:24:51.595+01:00As usual your work is awesome!

If you don't want to drill out the center of the planters every time, you can take something like a small thimble, or a small rubber ball, or even shape a piece of blue tac however you want the cavity of the planter to look, then grease it up with Vaseline or even cooking spray, and sink it down into the plaster while it's still wet in the mold. When the plaster cures, you can de-mold the planter and take out the object to reveal the negative space.Odiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640581334924139121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579010104915193980.post-61058759446725876332015-03-18T16:56:12.300+01:002015-03-18T16:56:12.300+01:00Your blog needs an "awesome" button!¡! ...Your blog needs an "awesome" button!¡! :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830313519416743704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579010104915193980.post-65421875634353123602015-03-18T15:33:41.873+01:002015-03-18T15:33:41.873+01:00Arts and crafts meets gothic horror!
