Knights and Castle

A variation on Cheryl's Pipecleaner People. These have paperclips
attached to feet so they can stand. And I made their hands with larger
loops so they can hold miniature weaponry (cocktail toothpick swords,
balsa wood shields).

Much of the fun stuff we used to make them (and the Star Wars spaceships) came from the Depot for Creative Reuse in Long Beach.  Such an inspiring place to visit if you're into creating things.  And the owner Lisa is such a kind, generous person - she really creates community in the East Village.

Frank created castle out of scrap lumber. Stonelike facade carved with
dremel tool. It even has a drawbridge-

  1. This is so amazing! The photo doesn't do justice to the castle and the people. We need a tutorial!
