The Adventures of Elka
Meet Elka, the new Hoopla Kids mannequin. At least, this is what she was made for. It appears Ella has other ideas about what to do with her. In the space of a few hours these are just a few of her adventures . . .

The Making of a Mannequin
've decided it's time I had a mannequin as part of my stall at the Wellington Underground Market. I've searched trade me and google and found a few but they don't come cheap so I decided to make one myself.
One of the joys of being a piano tuner is that we have collected up a few nice bits a machinery which come in handy for all sorts of things. For example how about a recycled rimu clothes rack?
So I got out my roll of brown paper. I asked Ella for her help but she was too busy making muffins with duplo in our half built porch. But as soon as Sammy had obliged she was in wanting her space on the paper. I drew around both of them.
