I've been thinking over the last few days about something to post for this month's Whiplash comp. The 'alt craft' theme is tricky because really what qualifies as alternative these days when you can buy 'Ugly Dolls' in K Mart and fab eyeball marbles in a gift shop in Snape in the uk and then you pop over to Walberswick for some hag stones...(sorry, can't stop going on about my holiday).

But i have decided to post something and as this is the only thing i've made this month, this is it.

Thanks to the girls for letting me plunder their toy boxes and now the question is not whether it's alternative but whether it's craft. And as there's no 'Silly Idea' category and no skill involved this is entered in the design section.

I love this! I think it certainly qualifies as "alternative" I had a bit of trouble wrapping my mind around the whole alternative thing myself. Think of the possibilities with what you have made- if your kids have as many tiny toys as my kids, you could make just about anything.
very clever! maybe there should be a silly idea category!
