Good morning Chatter's
Those are fabulous! You’re very talentedA few years ago, I started doing paverpol sculptures. They are garden ornaments that arwe made completely from aluminium wire, masking tape and tinfoil for the body shape

You then use recycled cotton t-shirts to enclose the body frames. Final step is to make clothes from the cotton t-shirts and hair from unraveled muslin cloth. They are then coated in paverpol - a mix of glue and colours. These harden, and become completely element proof.
I loved doing it, as it brought out my creative side. But it's hard to do with hand arthritis - regardless of that, it is something I'm going to start doing again.
The Victorian Sitting Lady was my first sculpture. Followed that with The Fisherman, and finally my Garden Fairy. The Fairy was 100% my own design. The other 2 were done in a workshop training class.

Dad bought this one from me, and it sits on Mum's patio. I modelled it on his build and curly hair![]()
I went into the pet shop I always go to after work to get my bunnies their favourite treats on a stick and pellets.
This one woman when she is working keeps telling me I need to get the other boy neutered and I’d say I know I just can’t afford to do them all at once. Shed says yea well I have vet bills that are 1200 bucks for dental surgery for my dogs etc. She would keep it up every time. then when sassy had babies she kept saying I told you so ! She said that she would adopt them out of the store though if I got them fixed. I guess she’s the manager. I thought that was nice of her.
Then today I told her they all passed away and how upset it made me. She said what?! How did they all die?! That’s so weird Mabye you just shouldn’t have bunnies. She’d say mmmh that’s so strange. I just said I don’t think it’s anything I did I tried so hard I kept them warm etc.
She then told me I should think about handing my other rabbits over to some society that relocates the feral rabbits on the island. She said they are going to handle the ones by my work. I said what they just killed all the bunnies over at the university and the hospital then told people they relocated them.
She said no they relocated them.
I was in shock and just shouldn’t have even said anything to her or explain myself. I can’t believe she was making me feel so bad. Now I am worried that she phoned some place to come grab the rabbits around my work to be killed thinking thy are a problem because of her.
With all the money I spend there too she should just learn to shut up .
MY rabbits are all happy healthy and loved.
Treating me As if i murdered all the baby bunnies
I goggled it after you posted it. Kind of like paper mache. It is very cool.I posted the Paverpol as I thought it may interest some of you creative artists. The core is 8ga aluminum, body is moulded with tinfoil, and the reddit jusdt uses recycled or old white cotton t-shirts.
It's an awesome hobby![]()
Thanks.There's always those sort of people who think they know EVERYTHING about a subject. But in reality, they don't know anything - and just talk out of a hole in their ...
Ignore her completely. I would trust a vets' impression, and other animal rescuers over a little pet shop worker![]()
I’ll probably just announce that the rabbit trafficker/murderer is back for treats and toys.Well if you have to go there to buy supplies, next time you see her tell her you turned them all loose and got a couple of pet rabbits from a friend and shut her up

They are so charming!
I'd like to make a bunch of scary ones.
