Pram to pet bed!

This is an upcycle of a doll's pram to a pet bed! I chose a fluffy polar fleece blanket and a pillow for the mattress, so it can all be washed easily. It is cosy and soft.

Our wee man Fudge has chosen his bed. He didn't like the chair in our room, but chose the pram to sleep in at night. It can look a bit funny because sometimes he lays on his back with his feet in the air and snores his heart out.

Fudge can take considerable encouragement to get up in the morning. Just like a typical kid needs to be coaxed out of his pram bed, especially if it is raining or minus degrees outside!

Scrap Metal Art - Owl




This was a technology project that was undertaken at a school. Students were asked to collect scrap metal and design their own garden metal art. I decided to follow the process and created my own! I researched my idea of creating an owl. The design is largely created on what I could source and I had to adapt and change it to create my final outcome.
 I sourced springs, nails, cogs from a bike, a hinge, and a chimney flue cap. The fine springs at the top represent the feathers and have wire inside to shape them. The wings are shaped wire covered in chicken wire. It is mostly welded together. I popped riveted the springs at the top.
