Hope you're making the porter/traveller/delivery man too

Surely it's gelatinous and it carries stuff.....it's a gel-pack!

, well said.
Thanks for the encouragement and ideas all.
I have made a little progress tonight with the baskets. I sculpted one and may try to make a press mold for it but don't think it will capture the detail well enough and may need to sculpt more of them. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. I also sculpted 2 beaks, an open and semi-closed one. I'll see what they look like in better light as it was quite dim when I sculpted them.
More photos to come.

Now that I like!

Wicker basket number one is nearly complete. I still need to texture the bottom of it. I'll also be adding different sort of wares in the tops. Maybe some scrolls, fruits and other knick knacks.

I also made a quick press mold for it but may need to rethink the mold and make it a full mold rather than a wrap around texture.

And here are the beaks. Since the photo was taken, I have added some brownstuff to the open one so that the bitey bit is bitier.


I'm quickly running out of greenstuff too (which is a good thing as this lot is starting to go bad. I might need to start storing it in the freezer or something like that).

Nice basket!

[beefcake]

Cheers guys. It was actually really easy to make. I just use a small flathead screwdriver to push the correct bits down and repeated followed by some tidying up. I made another tonight in much quicker time. I'm slow going at the moment with sick kids so can't get too much done.

I really like this concept and it is coming along very well.
Nice GS work, sir.

Great tip too, on how it was done

Hope the kids make a speedy recovery.

Cheers. Chicken pox, my 2 y/o had some medicine that was meant to make her drowsy last night but it has a possible side effect of hyperactivity... she finally went to sleep at 4:45am. My lovely wife let me get some sleep though and I looked after my daughter when she awoke at 6. So in light of this I may not be very productive today.

No pics but a little more done on this. Sign has been created, just need to sculpt the texture on the back. Also added some apples to one of the baskets.
Any ideas what I can put into the other baskets?
Photos tomorrow.

Cabbages? Pumpkins? Grain?
