A long cars garland, with big fluffy felt beads... made for a brand new baby boy as a surprise ;)
I painted the cars in water colour paint, and then printed them on cotton. Stuffed them and put different coloured linen on the back....

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy - Johan thanks for making my day by telling me I can post them ;)
You know it when you hear it. The sounds of KU’s steam whistle, informally known as the “Big Tooter,” echo over campus to signal the end of class. It’s part of a Jayhawk’s everyday life. But what if we didn’t have the Big Tooter?
Throwback to 2003 when the Big Tooter was resurrected after three months of silence. The old whistle had cracked under steam pressure, which caused it to blast 25 feet in the air and land on the roof of the power plant.
Now, the Big Tooter is back and louder than ever. You can visit the old steam whistle on display at the Kansas Union. And you can read more about it at kuhistory.com/articles/the-big-tooter/
Charles Holden styled Underground station in 1/76 scale.
The station stands just opposite St Judes church on the model tram layout.
A fictional station similar in style to the buildings at Tooting Broadway and South Wimbledon.
Tooting Bec Underground Station (Northern Line), 1 May 2023. The station was opened by the City and South London Railway (C&SLR) in September 1926 on the Morden extension southwards from the C&SLR’s Camden Town/Euston – Clapham Common line, first proposed before WWI.
The Chief Architect of the Underground Electric Railways of London (the umbrella company for the C&SLR) was the experienced Charles Heap who presented his designs of the proposed stations to the General Manager of the UERL, Frank Pick. But Pick did not like them, thinking them too conservative. Unusually, he commissioned the Architect Charles Holden of the practice Adams, Holden & Pearson to design the stations which must have been a real snub to Heaps. Nonetheless, there seems to have developed a good working relationship between the two notwithstanding Holden holding the predominant position with Pick.
Tooting Bec consists of two surface buildings each side of Balham High Road/Upper Tooting Road linked by a subway. They are in Modernist style clad in Portland Stone. The columns have capitals which are a three-dimensional depiction of the Underground roundel, typical of Holden’s stations on the Morden Extension. The station is Grade II listed.
Pictured is original tiling around the station roundel.

Shutters in Tooting Broadway Market are being painted by a number of different street artists. Early birds catch the shutters when they are down.
