More produce sounds like a plan

Pics of the sign and first basket.

Very nice sculpting there. I wish I had decided on something organic, like a flock of flamingos.

or a Flock of Seagulls?
I can't do inorganic (and can barely do organic) hence my choice.
Maybe next time I'll "build" something rather than sculpt, although I do enjoy sculpting.
Currently I'm really low on Greenstuff so I can't actually get onto the body or tentacles. Which is frustrating.

So do I. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. I have about an inch of GS tape left.
Regardless I have plugged on with some of the baskets.
One with what should be cabbages and the other is covered in cloth. I might put some sort of critter arm hanging out the side, contraband goods or something like that. (There's some fluff, domesticated ones of these are used by smugglers to fly their goods past customs officials. Throw a rope over the town walls at night and the goods are through)
I twisting some florist wire (doubled up) to make the rope. Then pushed it into the GS. Use s spare bit of GS to make the tie.
I'm a terrible photographer so here is one with and without flash.

Great stuff   :-* What's on the wooden board? Is that going to be a written sign?

Yes it is :) That's where my inspiration came from. It should look a little different by the end though.


Another basket finished tonight (except for the top and bottom), I'm getting very quick at them now.
I've found a few rings for hooking necklaces together. I'll be using them as harness rings and sculpting some straps onto the beast.
In the mean time, with my extra GS I've been sculpting a floating brain creature (no BS comp obviously)
