who participated in the competitions.....Thank you XXxx.
The first of the photo's.
I did the first workshop with the Train design.
Then it was onto Amanda and Framing, she talked a little about stands, weights, poles etc.
And the best place to purchase and what to ask for, plus touched on her double page spread in the Daily Star ;D ;D
After her year long posts of designs that she placed at the bottom of her road for all to see.
Many are on Amanda's Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/masquerade.amandasmith
David and his Bluey design.
This one was my attempt.
David with his one balloon Monkey design.
I made a couple of bikes the night before in my hotel room. The Yellow bike still needs an engine to be fitted.
Some variations on Bluey that David made.
I added a 160 tail to the one balloon monkey that David taught.
Rob's entries to the competitions and Paul trying out the frame for size.
Rob starting his workshop on the Grim Reaper.
Amanda and others all ready to promote," cleaning your teeth is important day" ;D ;D
Another entry into the Halloween competition.
Rob with his Grim Reaper and his Halloween entry.
Rob made a few in different colours.
Then it was competition time, people decorated the stand that Amanda made and explained during her workshop.
We also had a late entry, the Christmas tree penetrated the poor Monkey Steve had brought along.
It was OK as it was Steve's entry.
We had two winners for the Halloween event with Russell and his Ghost Train and Kathryn with Wednesday Addams.
Well done to both and to everyone else for joining in, I live the competitions and the designs people make, thanks xx.
It was then onto the Christmas competition with a few entries.
It was nice to see a few new faces at the days, we do hope everyone enjoyed themselves and got a few ideas from the day.
Russell and his working cracker.
Last two entries.
And the winners were......................drum Roll,
Russell and Amanda, who both won some amazing prizes ;D
Thanks to everyone who joined in and made it a fun competition,
the comments as people show their designs is very funny and sometimes you just have to be there.
Amanda did a little photo shopping on the frame, looks really nice in all Black.
