Rob and David both made Wolf amulets from a section of a branch (hence the uneven circle), using acrylic paints. They used a picture printed from the internet and then traced it on to the wood. This gives David the good likeness that he needs, and then he painted it with the guidance of Rob. It has come out well, and he is really pleased with it.
Star Wars has had a bit of a revisit here, since David's birthday saw the arrival of the set of dvd's....I may live to regret it, but he has waited a long time!!! 
Did you spot the mystery guest?!!
Did you spot the mystery guest?!!This is David's light saber made from wood, painted with acrylics and detail added in the form of screws, bolts washers and a cupboard door knob!! Williams is the one underneath...he has a good imagination!!!
Rob made David a wooden knife while we were in the woods on his birthday and then we designed the case from an old leather handbag they picked up in a charity shop for £1.50. It looks frighteningly real!!!!
And this is David's Anakin Skywalker picture. Outline drawn with the aid of carbon paper, and then details added in coloured pencils. He has a good eye for detail and colours, just lacks the confidence to draw things himself. I hope one day he will learn to draw for himself, but until then we will find ways for him to enjoy art.

Awww! My guys thought that photo (+ visitor) was really cool and want to know how you did it! We have star wars-mad boys in this house, so we must get together sometime!
Rob is the creator of that one, Bmf. I think that he used photoshop elements, which is a free programme that Tom downloaded a while back. It is cool isn't it!!! He just drew the sabers on and found a suitable picture of the wee man on the web and stuck it on!!! Get together sounds great. Must put thinking cap on.....
Hmm..think we might have had photoshop elements on one of our previous pc incarnations, will have to persue. Sounds like your guys have been up to such fab creative things. Mine have been glued to the scratch website http://scratch.mit.edu/ posting up various creations and I've had difficulty persuading them to do much else. Yeah..I know it's educational, but...{pulls face}
