Hi again fellow Toggers.....There are many, many pictures to show.....hope you find your work among these.

Jennifer's Art Table

Makesh's Charcoal Drawing Class

Our thanks to Makesh for taking over this week....a little break for Jennifer.

Tog Table

For those thinking of coming along to TOG for the first time.

As you enter the room there is a table with various things eg...information sheets, Raffle prizes, a signing in sheet and a polite notice asking you to put a £1 donation into the can to cover the cost of the afternoon. This includes all the tea or coffee you can drink etc....a real bargain!!! .....You might find Ann sitting there welcoming those entering reminding them to sign in.

Malcolm always comes along for a chat, a cup of tea and some good company....remember if that is all you want to do it's fine.

Nicola and Sheenal's Nail Bar

Every now and again Nicola gives the ladies a real treat with a manicure and giving the nails a couple of coats of nail varnish.. Sheenal offered to do a hand massage this time with some lovely smelling creams.....

Marilyn's Jewellery Table

Marilyn and Liz getting ready for the afternoon.

The Ukulele Group

Open day at THE BRIDGE....UKECAN busking in reception.

That was such fun!!!!........When we finished Mark from Mind asked Lisa if UKECAN could do a gig at the Mind AGM in December.

Dave in charge for the afternoon!!!

The Craft Table

Sorry Guys hope I don't bore you too much......but we did so much stuff and everyone wants to see their work displayed.

Open day at the Bridge

What a display of our work!!!......we had a lot of good feedback.

RECYCLED SPOONS made into........COAT HOOKS?????

We got good old Uri Geller to bend all the spoons first....who else!!

The spoons were flattened so we could cover the heads in the most beautiful shades of Fimo Clay......It is lovely clay to work with.

This lot are taking their work very seriously....

The finished product.....think they came out pretty well.

DIY Coloured Glass Jars

Just for an experiment.....we made our own glass paint out of PVA glue and some old printer ink I had lying around........well.... it did work to a fashion.

Each person had to make up their own colour mixture, pour it into a clean,clear jar. Screw on the lid and toss the jar from side to side to cover the whole inside of the jar...They were left to dry and the result was an amazing array of beautiful coloured jars.

Gee Whizz!! what beautiful coloured jars......some were decorated with a gold or siver 3D outliner for effect.

Boring Old White Plates!!!!!

Lets see what happened to them.

First things first.....getting ready to decorate those boring white plates.

I managed to find yet another fantastic book to chop up......sorry book lovers!!!

Now lets get MESSY.....such a lovely word MESSY...lots and lots of gooey glue and a bit of artistic flair.

The finished product......all of them were fantastic.

Marble Art

I was so impressed when I found out how to do this artwork.....The old way with water, oil paints, plastic sheets to protect the surfaces and towels to clean up the mess put me completely off this project......But by chance I came across this new ( at least to me ) way.

Using Shaving Foam and Watercolours......I quickly rushed to the bathroom to find my husbands shaving cream to have a go.....I was hooked and just had to bring this idea to TOG.

The results were truly beautiful....well done guys.

Christmas Stuff

We managed to do some Christmas stuff.......paper chains, Snowflakes, angels and some plastic champagne flutes that we glittered ready to be filled with ' Coconut Kisses ' made by our very own sweetmaker Hansa.

Well that's it folks....such a lot to look at I know, but I hope you enjoyed peeking into the last few months at TOG......We have a festive day on 20th December.........Music supplied by Don't Fret & UkeCan hope to see you all there.
