Stars dig deep for Christian Aid Week
David Shrigley, Tali Lennox, Alan Titchmarsh and TOWIEâs Lydia Bright are among a host of famous names who have used their creative talents to support this yearâs Christian Aid Week. Over 15 stars have customised gardening tools, which will be displayed in a Soho pop-up shop from 14 â 19 May and auctioned at www.ebay.co.uk/christianaid.
The theme of the fundraising week is âgive the tools to help people in poverty out of povertyâ, and Christian Aid is hoping the celebrity decorated tools will raise vital funds for its work in countries such as Sierra Leone. The shop at 63 Broadwick Street, adjacent to Carnaby Street, will be open from 10 â 7pm daily to give the public a chance to view these unique items, which range from watering cans and gardening gloves to wellies and herb pots.
The one-off celebrity items that will be up for auction include:
Model, Tali Lennoxâs watering can
Fashion designer, Katharine Hamnettâs wellies Artist, David Shrigleyâs wellies
Actress, Jill Halfpennyâs trowel
Garden designer, Rachel de Thameâs dibber Rapper, Professor Greenâs wire brush
Designer of the Year, Lee Broomâs wheelbarrow Comedian, Andi Oshoâs strawberry pot
Made in Chelsea star, Oliver Proudlockâs spade Singer, Lemarâs watering can
Actor, Kris Marshallâs mini gardening set Garden designer, Alan Titchmarshâs pruners TOWIE star, Lydia Brightâs mini watering can Actress, Donna Airâs broom
Garden designer, Charlie Dimmockâs tool
Boy band, Lawsonâs flower pots
Model, Suki Waterhouseâs brush
Actress, Kara Tointonâs herb pots
Singer, VV Brownâs paint brush
One of the stars involved is young British model, Tali Lennox. Daughter of singer and humanitarian, Annie Lennox, Tali is no stranger to charity work. She recently travelled to Sierra Leone, one of the worldâs poorest countries where around half the population depend on agriculture, as a Christian Aid Week ambassador. There, Tali visited communities that have already benefited from Christian Aid funds and heard how war torn communities, who faced a daily battle

against malnutrition after the multinational food companies fled during the war, were left with no tools or equipment to farm.
Tali said: âThis was the first time I got to see how small changes can transform lives in such a big way. People are being provided with the kinds of things we in the UK would take for granted. The country has so much potential. They just need the right tools, and thatâs where the donations have been so vital.â
This year there is an even greater focus on fundraising as the first £5million donated to Christian Aid Week 2012 will be matched by the Government pound for pound, allowing the charity to help more people in poor communities around the world work their way out of poverty.
Karen Lobo-Morell, Christian Aid, said: âItâs fantastic to have so many stars using their creative talents to support Christian Aid Week. Buying a watering can decorated by Lemar or a pair of wellies customised by Katherine Hamnett will mean people can not only own a great one-off, but will be helping poor communities around the world. Millions of people rely on subsistence agriculture to feed their families and they just want to be given the tools to work their way out of poverty. We want as many people as possible to come down to the shop and check out what our stars have created.â

This image is based on 'An Officer and a Gentleman' The 1982 film staring Richard Gere. I've used a bit of wordplay to fulfill the brief, substitution 'gere' for 'gear'.
I created the drawing in Adobe Illustrator, customising a stock illustration as a base to work from. The gear is from a model slot car.
For the 'Macro Monday' - 'Cogwheel' challenge, 17th September 2018.
The dimensions of the image are 60mm x 60mm.
It is nearly Royal Easter Show time and Léontine is reminded of the last time she went to the show - and how she rather regretted her choice of food on a stick.
Audrey & Bunny had fairy floss (cotton candy) and it looked much nicer than Léontine's Dagwood Dog.
--- --- ---
Ed: The Royal Easter Show is Sydney's big agricultural show - when the country comes to the city - my hubby dear worked the Easter Show for almost 20 yrs and I worked a few years too. Dagwood Dog aka Pluto Pup - a fatty saveloy sausage, coated in batter and deep fried - then dipped in runny (very vinegary) tomato sauce. Let me tell you - after many hours standing at a gate with hot vinegar and fat smells wafting past your nose ... a Dagwood Dog was the last thing I wanted to eat.
Heavily customised Scania Topline, reg. no. JT15 OMG, seen here at Truckfest South West & Wales 2016.
The picture was taken on 2 July 2016.
I thought she looks sweet like Caramel, so I decided to call her that. Then I thought by adding an 'i' to her name, it looks prettier? Haha...hope i'm making some sense here.
She's my 2nd fully customise girl but I really like her even though she hardly has an upper lip due to too much sanding >_< Acrylic eyes work wonders, but it is so much work to install. And it's not fully functionable, she can't blink now.
Hope you like Caramiel too :)
A tube themed customised bike on dispay - the road legal bike was ridden to the display spot. The chasis being modified and lengthened with a regular tube frame theme, the bike looks minimal and radical as the riding position is lowered. It suit a person of short legs and long arm.

The Dodge Ram Van (also known as the Dodge B-series) is a range of full-size vans that were produced by Chrysler Corporation from the 1971 to 2003 model years. Replacing the Dodge A100, the Ram Van transitioned to a front-engine drivetrain configuration. Mostly offered as a cargo van and a passenger van, the model line was also initially offered as a cutaway van chassis.
The B-series van line was produced across 32 years of production, spanning three generations.
The second generation B Series was introduced in 1979 with the front portion of the body undergoing a redesign. The front fascia received a taller hood line and grille (styled in line with Dodge Ram pickup trucks), with parking lamps wrapping into the front fenders. Higher-trim Sportsman vans were fitted with four rectangular headlamps while lower-trim versions (and Tradesman cargo vans) were fitted with dual round headlamps. For 1981, the model line underwent a major rebranding. In line with its pickup truck counterpart (which became the Dodge Ram pickup), the Dodge Tradesman and Sportsman nameplates were retired in favour of Dodge Ram Van and Wagon; the B-series nomenclature remained, revised to B150, B250, and B350.

Onside distanced view of a 1959 Buick Le Sabre 4-Door, 6-Passenger Sedan; Customised, model code [4419], one of 8,286 examples built. Age-related six-character registration “651 UXM”. Snapped outside Mathewson’s classic and vintage car auctions house, Thornton-Le-Dale.
Back in 2018 I snapped this brutal 1959 Buick Le Sabre 4-Door Customised Sedan outside the famous Mathewson’s auction house in Thornton-Le-Dale, Ryedale, North Yorkshire, U.K. (around the time the first season of the popular TV series was being filmed). This jet age-styled car was by far the most radical vehicle on auction that day.
This Bad-To-The-Bone Buick, registration “651 UXM” had been in the U.K. for quite a while, and had received some interesting custom work, including aftermarket alloy mags, removed door handles, missing some chrome trim, and its front bench seat was a replacement which might’ve come from a pickup truck. The car was painted in a shade of Kustom “Matte Black” respray, underneath a glossy “Glacier Green” roof. At the time the car was up for auction, it still had its original (possibly tuned) 6.0-Litre, 250-HP, 363.5-CID “Nailhead Wildcat” OHV V8, column-mounted 3-Spd helical M/T, and an (assuming) original 3.58:1 ratio live rear axle hypoid differential. The car required some mechanical attention, including new brakes. The chrome bumpers were quite badly pitted, too. However, the rest of the car seemed pretty solid and complete. This Buick was purchased by an enthusiast who has since undertaken some much-needed recommissioning work.

The Ford Ranger is a compact pickup truck that was manufactured and marketed by Ford Motor Company between 1982 and 2011 for the 1983 to 2012 model years. Introduced as a replacement for the Mazda-produced Ford Courier sold from 1971 to 1982, the Ranger was produced in three generations. Introduced a year after the Chevrolet S-10, the Ranger would go on to become the best-selling compact truck in the United States from 1987 to 2004.
Production of the Ranger was sourced from three different assembly plants. Twin Cities Assembly Plant in St. Paul, Minnesota produced the Ranger for its entire model run; the last vehicle produced at Twin Cities Assembly was the final 2012 Ford Ranger. But from 1983 to 1999, production was supplemented at Louisville Assembly Plant in Louisville, Kentucky and from 1993 to 2004, Edison Assembly in Edison, New Jersey.
Although Ford began to use the Ranger name on all compact trucks worldwide starting in 1998, global export of the North American version was primarily limited to South America, including Argentina, Brazil, and Chile; South American versions of the Ranger were produced in Argentina from 1998 to 2012.
Rebadged variants of the second-generation Ford Ranger were marketed by Mazda as the B-Series with Mazda using engine displacement for their model designation: the B2500 had the 2.5-liter inline-four engine and the B4000 has a 4.0-liter V6. For 2002, the B-Series was renamed to simply Mazda Truck in the United States.
Second generation
1992–1997
The redesign in 1992 for 1993 featured mild restyling, flush-mounted door glass, wider doors, and slight fender flares. The 1989-style dashboard remained, but the seats and door panels were new. The 2.9-liter engine was discontinued. For the first time, every model was produced with a flareside bed. The engines offered were offered in displacements of 2.3-, 3.0- and a 4.0 liters. The Mazda M5OD-R1 was now the sole manual transmission option. A new "Splash" model was introduced, which had a flare side bed, unique chrome wheels, 1 inch (25 mm) lowered rear suspension and a 2 inch lowered front suspension (on 4x2 models), and special vinyl "Splash" decals on the sides and the tailgate.
The 1993 Splash trim level was offered with regular cab in arctic white, gloss black, red orange, and sky blue. The Mazda B-Series became a re-badged Ranger for the 1994 model year, but the Mazda B-Series did not offer an equivalent to the Splash model. While 1993 Rangers used R-12 Freon, 1994 model year saw the transition to CFC-free air-conditioning systems in compliance with the Clean Air Act. For the 1994 model year, the Splash trim had options which all included; a 1 in (25 mm) lowered rear suspension and 2 inch lowered front suspension (on 4x2 models), flare side bed, an extended cab, and unique chrome wheels. The decals also underwent subtle changes. While the 1993–1994 models sported red, yellow and blue stripes, the 1995–1996 models had lime green stripes. Additionally, the available colors for the Splash model changed from the 1993–1994 models to the 1995–1997 models. The latter were offered in Maroon Red, Gloss black, White, and Canary Yellow.
Ford Ranger jump seat open
Fall 1994 production (1995 model year) included a steering wheel modified to include a driver's side airbag and a redesigned dashboard which included a double DIN radio head unit. Also for 1995 (model year), SuperCab trucks could have a power driver's seat. The A4LD transmission was updated. 2.3 L and 3.0 L models got the 4R44E, while 4.0 L trucks got the 4R55E. The front brakes were changed to use the same 2-piston brake calipers as the second-generation Explorer, and four-wheel anti-lock brakes were added as standard on 4x4 and 4.0 L models. From October 1995 (1996 model year), an optional passenger airbag (the first compact truck to offer one) became available, with a key-operated cutoff switch that allowed the airbag to be turned off for smaller passengers riding in the front seat. In October 1996, the 1997 model year brought in the first ever five-speed automatic transmission to be used by an American manufacturer. The 4.0-liter models were equipped with the 5R55E, while the 3.0-liter was still mated to the 4R44E.

This miniland-scale Lego Ford Ranger X Cab Pickup (1996 - North America Offroad Custom) has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 92nd Build Challenge, - "Stuck in the 90's", - all about vehicles from the decade of the 1990s.
This model was a 'By Request' offered up by Lino, for a Ford 1996 Ranger customised to the gills. I chose for this model to present the vehicle as specified by a horse-riding enthusiast. Styling-wise, my two daughters assisted in how the car should look, including the matching horse trailer.
The Ranger sports a custom full-width chrome grill treatment, including headlight covers. The paintwork is two-tone aqua and white, and appears as a miniland-scale version of what Lego 'Friends' vehicular sets would look like (without some of the colour-blindness which blights them). The Ranger also boasts moon-disc wheels, chrome tube side steps. White lifting cover for the pickup tray, monochrome tail lamps and a tow hitch, for the one-horse trailer.

I have an earlier version of this (221) in white which has an opening bonnet and pop-up headlamps. The doors also open on that one, but the casting for this later version has been modified to make them less deep to accommodate added side exhausts.
The box for this one is incorrect, it is for the earlier version.

Here’s my Superman doll customised to look like Bow from She Ra. I have been meaning to make one about three Superman dolls ago but…. I finally did it.
I based his look more on the He Man Classics action figures rather than the bright orange hair from the show since my She Ra doll is more naturalistic coloured as well and I wanted this to look as much as he could have come from the same line as She Ra.
And yeah if anyone is paying attention it’s the same colour as Allan’s hair when I touch up scuff marks.

Bonnie wears the orange shorts from the Perfectly Palm Springs gift set, a top made by me and carries the bag from To the Fair Poppy with PPS sunglasses. Her kitten heeled mules are from the Perfectly Palm Springs gift set.
Both these dolls inspire me so much I want to redress them frequently and when I do I immediately want to photograph them!

This Anglia took my eye at the show, customised with fat tyres, lowered and with widened arches, it was running a 1600cc engine. But it was the airbrushing that grabbed the attention. From Steve McQueen in the driving seat to Jane Fonda as Barbarella at the rear quarter, and goodness knows what on the boot lid.
FORD ANGLIA E494A
The 1949 model, code E494A, was a makeover of the previous model with a rather more 1940s-style front end, including the sloped, twin-lobed radiator grille. Again, it was a very spartan vehicle and in 1948, it was Britain's lowest-priced four-wheel car. This would also be the first Anglia to be sold in the US and Canada
The Anglia was only available as a two door Saloon, or a two door panel van. When production as an Anglia ceased in October 1953, it continued as the extremely basic Ford Popular until 1959.
An Anglia tested by the British magazine The Motor in 1948 had a top speed of 57 mph (92 km/h) and could accelerate from 0–50 mph (80 km/h) in 38.3 seconds

The fabled Bedford JO was the smallest model of the TJ range.
New Zealand almost certainly had the bulk of the limited production run (1961-66), with many government department having considerable fleets of them. A fair number have survived but many have been either customised to varying degrees or exported to the UK, where they are favoured by nostalgic members of the travelling community. These vehicles are subjected to no-expense spared restorations and end up in better than new condition.
This particular example was seen roadside on the outskirts of Thames at the base of the Coromandel Peninsular. In common with just about all of the customised examles to be seen here in NZ, it has been re-powered with a V8 engine mated to an automatic gearbox. The wider pattern wheels and tyres do not look too out of place and no "chop-job" has been done to the cab! The steel-channel bumper, "Roo Bar" and sun visor are normal Antipodean accessories for a JO and make for a not unpleasant blending of originality and tasteful customisation.
A commissioned custom of the enjoyable to customise Bossy Bear by David Horvath.
I have a lot of info on this little one that will have to remain under lock, key and high security beams but I will say she's built a very nice little word on her bonce to nurture that little guy up there.
This is my last physical commission of the year but thanks to anyone who's kept me ticking along with any purchases, commissions or very kind emails.
Sadly I have no commission time available until around late February but any emails or flickr messages are still kind and very welcome :)
