Cherry Pitter
I started playing with the Cherry Pitter today. I asked my husband to straighten it some so it would stand upright. He had a bit of a problem with it - it kind of fell apart. So he welded the center part with the thumb loop between the two finger loops and split the bottom piece in two. I like it in this configuration - it gave me a place for feet.
I have this Superflex Sculpey clay that I had bought years ago so my daughters could make hair decorations. Ran it through the pasta machine and it softened right up. Huh. I was surprised that it was still useable. So I made him hands and feet. Put a face on another leftover head I found in the boneyard (my boneyard is emptying out!). I have to darken the eyelid area - looks too much like makeup - and this is supposed to be a dude. The photo shows why I think this is a guy, LOL. How I'm going to work with that piece I don't know!
I also don't know where he's going from here .. but we'll find out soon.

Oh, gloriaski! I have been sitting here TRYING to behave - but it's really YOUR fault, you know! You set me up & I have to take the bait! LOL! Uh - yeah! Definitely a GUY! And, typical - ready to NAIL some female! (Sorry. Be glad that wasn't a screw instead of a nail, girlfriend!) Okay - back to business! That pitter makes a terrific armature! Beats the heck out of having to wire one yourself - AND it's sturdy! I can't wait to see him completed! (You always see art everwhere you look, Judi! You are just absolutely creative! MEANT to be an artist!)
Posted by: kai at November 21, 2005 10:17 AMWell I am trying to make my mind up as to what he looks like or is it a he or she. I guess he/she could be either. Never tried different colour hands. I don't think I would unless I make them wear gloves. But Judi heshe does have a certain look on the face which is very endearing. Do you think I could come and rummage around in your boneyard? You have some interesting faces in there.
Posted by: shashi at November 21, 2005 1:01 PMOh MY!! Yes definitely a male...LOL! I think it's the violet eyes that give him a slightly feminine look, but he's definitely a guy.
He's obviously wearing gloves and boots...or he's been stomping those grapes again!
Make your own version of Judi's dolls.
Many patterns available!
