<span style="background-color: #7f6000; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">(and the sad tale of Ingrid Blackberry...:(</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #7f6000; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">A trip to the two dollar store gave me my inspiration for the golden urns. I was looking for something suitable to place my topiary shrubs in, and found these cheap plastic egg cups. A few coats of my trusty gold spray paint (of which I've nearly finished a whole can after this photo shoot!)</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Utb3OLpeMpQ/V93x2OqNiiI/AAAAAAAAAXY/G7vd-SiSLFE9lGhfJJHmysK-Oj--nd6DwCLcB/s1600/urns%2Band%2Bstatue%2Bbases.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Utb3OLpeMpQ/V93x2OqNiiI/AAAAAAAAAXY/G7vd-SiSLFE9lGhfJJHmysK-Oj--nd6DwCLcB/s640/urns%2Band%2Bstatue%2Bbases.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">And seeing how they turned out, I then decided they would work quite well for the statue base. The golden rabbit balances well on the base.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">A set of 4 plastic egg cups - value $2</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">These should be easy enough to repaint (perhaps to a concrete colour) for future use, perhaps in a park setting or similar. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, due to her adventure, Ingrid didn't come out of it very well. After multiple falls into the river (not part of the story!)... a few too many tumbles in the outback red dust....Ingrid became quite discoloured and lost flocking in places. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So it was with regret that Ingrid got chosen to be one of the golden statues! I'd become quite attached to Ingrid after going through her adventure with her, so this was not easy to do....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Several coats of gold spray paint (this can of paint is nearly running on empty!)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As I was running to time and only began spray painting the golden rabbits the day before the photoshoot, I spray painted them heavily 5 or 6 times to get a complete gold-coloured coating. Probably it would have worked better, with less coatings and lighter spraying if this was done over several days, with a good amount of time for the flocking to completely dry before the next spraying. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">ps I must add, I did purchase another second hand Ingrid and camping set before embarking on this project... so "Ingrid" is still alive and well. :) </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">One googled idea, was to dip dishwashing sponges into glue and cover with green flocking. As I didn't have any flocking, green paint had to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">A dismal failure! Not a good look.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">No doubt it would have looked better flocked, however even so the method can't be used for the round topiary shape</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"> How about cut and paste plastic green leaves from miniature sized artificial plants to a Styrofoam ball?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Well... the thought was good, but er....definitely nope!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Still experimenting....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LzjRu1MWfAw/V7bPZD6u4cI/AAAAAAAAAUI/MXQL-7p-5W8ruUKlgYP7yf7jIS-ugcEHwCLcB/s1600/IMG_1396.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LzjRu1MWfAw/V7bPZD6u4cI/AAAAAAAAAUI/MXQL-7p-5W8ruUKlgYP7yf7jIS-ugcEHwCLcB/s200/IMG_1396.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">I spotted some round wire pot scrubbers in the dollar shop. Spray painted them green and they started to get a little closer to what I wanted, but still not there. They might do for an artificial Christmas tree look, but not topiary trees.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4pn9ehk1BvI/V7bPbOlkdUI/AAAAAAAAAUM/J-wkCMRkuQ8DblXIQqPz6nke-1x8hXQ0gCLcB/s1600/IMG_1401.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4pn9ehk1BvI/V7bPbOlkdUI/AAAAAAAAAUM/J-wkCMRkuQ8DblXIQqPz6nke-1x8hXQ0gCLcB/s200/IMG_1401.JPG" width="166" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"> Besides the downside was that these took <strong><u>a lot</u></strong> of spray paints before they were adequately covered in green.</span><br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LXtXCzvvOLw/V7bPYAnWFWI/AAAAAAAAAUE/OIBlQxNvSA0Qs94Omk1mxoMo1Vq4Zc5ngCLcB/s1600/IMG_1393.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="219" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LXtXCzvvOLw/V7bPYAnWFWI/AAAAAAAAAUE/OIBlQxNvSA0Qs94Omk1mxoMo1Vq4Zc5ngCLcB/s320/IMG_1393.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><strong><em>4.</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Finally... the simplest solution of all...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"> I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9awQksdhcX4/V7bPbwa6ovI/AAAAAAAAAUU/qVxZOMedbwQn9XFVDMpOZqFlNH6DD8wbQCLcB/s1600/IMG_1402.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9awQksdhcX4/V7bPbwa6ovI/AAAAAAAAAUU/qVxZOMedbwQn9XFVDMpOZqFlNH6DD8wbQCLcB/s320/IMG_1402.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">One of the kids old socks about to be discarded (the woolier and bumpier the better the effect) pulled tight over a Styrofoam ball and spraypaint green! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">One sock should produce around 3 large topiary trees and maybe 4 0r 5 small, depending on size of Styrofoam ball used. Of course you then have to add a tree trunk to it, or, as I did, placed it in an "urn" or pot. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BMhQUNyimp0/V7bPcFi8ufI/AAAAAAAAAUY/uKNWMLqEGQkvhLd8emFK0H7xSkiIaTnOACLcB/s1600/IMG_1407.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BMhQUNyimp0/V7bPcFi8ufI/AAAAAAAAAUY/uKNWMLqEGQkvhLd8emFK0H7xSkiIaTnOACLcB/s320/IMG_1407.JPG" width="236" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Just right for the topiary look I was trying to achieve.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">I'm happy with that!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">I plan to try it with smaller sized Styrofoam balls too and might even give hedging a go.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Necessity is the mother of invention! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Looking online for ready made miniature 1:12 scale red carpet stanchions was a great incentive to invent. They were available, but at USD $80! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">True, they were absolutely gorgeous, and the stanchion posts were made of brass,<strong> however $80. Er, no thankyou</strong>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">So it's time to start thinking and look at whats available at home. It's suprising what we CAN make out of what's around the house....</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, so what do we have. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Straws, 5c and 10c coins, super glue and raid the Christmas decorations box for some gold coloured beads and gold rope-type thread. Although it doesn't really matter what colour the beads, as we're going to spray paint them gold anyway.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iQ9UqGTB6K4/V66ANe_1aZI/AAAAAAAAANE/8bYnn4dUH9QQAUmfSRH-VrMe50FvH5anQCLcB/s1600/IMG_0714.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="271" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iQ9UqGTB6K4/V66ANe_1aZI/AAAAAAAAANE/8bYnn4dUH9QQAUmfSRH-VrMe50FvH5anQCLcB/s400/IMG_0714.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Glue the coins together, then the straws on top of the coin. And bead/bauble on top of the straw. Then spray paint gold. Initially I made holes in the straw, with the thought of threading the gold rope through, but it was difficult to do, so went with the easier way of simply glueing the rope onto the side of the stanchions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I added a round adhesive felt pad to the bottom (entirely optional) to both give it a little more height and stop it sliding around</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">I just had to photograph this, for Boomerang Springer's mining camp. Perfect. There was so much amazing, realisitic detail ... down to tin camping cups, miniature mining tools, a toilet roll in a "real" Aussie dunny. </span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Asking around the town I managed to find the lady who'd made it, and got permission to take it outdoors to photograph.</span></strong></div>

Well, there's a few Non-Sylvanian sized items seen in these scenes. I wish I'd known about the fabulous L'il Woodzeez Camping Playset! It would have been perfect for some campfire scenes. Maybe next time!</div>

<strong><span style="color: blue;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Harry spent a lonely night sitting beside Ingrid, who slept fitfully. He was relieved to see the sun setting, although he had no idea what they would do once the sun was up. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">He'd spent a long, cold night wondering and worrying.</span></strong></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Suddenly he heard a noise, coming from behind a bush. There appeared three pairs of ears!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, definitely ears!</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">And if there were ears... then that meant there was something there!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Harry felt afraid, but then he remembered his promise to himself to be brave. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe it was someone/something who could help them</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Hello!" he called timidly</span></div>

<strong>Glossary: Cooee!</strong> ( /ku:'i:/) is a shout used in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia" title="Australia">Au</a>stralia, usually in the bush, to attract attention, find missing people, or indicate one's own location. When done correctly - loudly and shrilly - a call of "cooee" can carry over a considerable distance (Wikipedia)</div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A Camping Adventure in the Outback of Australia hadn't been Harry Beagle's idea. Harry's idea of a holiday would be staying in his own backyard. But.... Harry's best friend was Ingrid Blackberry the Brave...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">or so Harry thought. He wished he had a shred of Ingrid's courage and adventure. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">He also wished he hadn't been talked into being Ingrid's camping trip buddy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately Ingrid was a well prepared girl scout. Campfires, finding food, setting up camps... no problem. Leave it to Ingrid.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">"Isn't nature so beautiful!" she exclaimed.</span></div>
<div align="center">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Day Two found them clambering along a rock ledge, Harry's eyes shut tightly. He daren't look down!</span> <span style="font-size: large;">He was sure he'd have nightmares about this for years!</span></div>

<em><span style="background-color: orange; color: purple; font-size: large;">I wanted to take some pictures of my 1990 Old Mill Windmill which is soon to be up for sale, so the best way seemed to put it into a story and keep a memory of it.</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Old Mill has always been a busy place in Possum Creek. The home of Chester and Willow Thistlethorn. So many comings and going.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A home where everyone feels welcome... and everyone pops in for a cup of tea, or to lend a hand, or just for a chat.</span></div>

Have you ever wondered about using Non-Sylvanian items as props. There are many other branded items available which work well. I love the Schleich brand items, such as hay bales, pitchfork, wheelbarrow, buckets. They work perfectly in Sylvanian scenes, adding that little bit extra. See Sylvanian-sized items here. </div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Grandma Wildwood was so surprised that she dropped her mixing bowl. Grandpa Wildwood was so timid that he had never set a paw outside of Possum Creek.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">"Why, Henry, that would be lovely!" she exclaimed. "What sort of adventure do you have in mind?"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There were posters everywhere with all manner of travel adventures from idyllic spots in Sylvania to adventures beyond in the big world outside.

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">It was another busy day in Possum Creek's Travel Agency for Fritz Polar. He enthusiastically spent his days sending Sylvanians on all kinds of Sun and Fun and Frolic adventures, when he himself much preferred to stay in his air-conditioned office. He looked up to see his old friend, Henry Wildwood enter the office.</span></div>
