Snow day!

Been trapped in the house/office today by the snow so I've finished off the Hoot model earlier than expected!

Hot Choc Sprinkle

I made a hot chocolate for my True Love. I was adding the usual heart shaped pattern on the top of the drink but somehow managed to rip the template card.

Time to print out a new one. I went to the laptop and there, on the hard disk, was a half completed file of templates that I'd forgotten about. So, while Pauline is watching Ghost (!?) I've completed a set of six templates and this blog entry.

If you're a subscriber you'll be able to download the pdf file at the bottom.

Print out the bits onto paper and run them though your home laminator, this makes the templates water proof, hot choc proof and easy to clean. Once laminated, cut out the parts then cut out the holes with a sharp knife.

Put the templates on top of your hot chocolate drink  and sprinkle on some hot choc powder. Ta daa!

Cat-o-log

I found this model while I was tidying up files on my hard disk. I originally designed the Cat-o-log to be printed in an old Flying Pig catalogue.

The model is a pdf file ready to print out. You can download it here. Have fun!


Tiger and Grasshopper

If you skip along to the Canon Creative Park website you can download a couple of new models by yours truly.

The Tiger and Grasshopper models are both snap-ups. They have an elastic band inside them. Fold them flat and when they are released they jump up. Fun!

Tiger

Grasshopper

You may remember that I had mentioned these models on Workshop Notes before. Canon asked me to remove the entires until the models were released. They are now available so I'm off into the archives to republish.

A new model exclusive to subscribers. Download, print out and make this elegant equatorial sundial, line it up with the North/South line and, once the sun comes out, you can read the time from the shadow on the dial. This fascinating model is ready for download now. As a subscriber you'll be able to download the model from the link below.

Paper Star

I've been making stars today - ready to use as Christmas decorations. The picture here is of a star based on a cuboctahedron. The plain cuboctahedron is a shape made from six square faces and eight triangular faces. In this model, I've replaced each face with a spike, a stellation.

If you're a subscriber you'll be able to download the file of parts and instructions at the bottom of this post.

Ho ho ho.
