okay.......trying to wash that imagine out of my dirty mind 😉

Yes Tara it's called a "Penqowl"..........surely you've seen them????............no???...............well I have, loads of them, little green things that wobble when they walk and say "twit twoooo"........they're living in our trees round here.................at least............I hope they are............because I keep talking back to them :|................I am wondering though why my neighbour seems so concerned as to whether I'm taking my medication:|

I think your Tara is very talented, I love her unique things that she makes and good for her too, so lovely to see a child using her own mind and doing her own thing :-x

That is such a beautiful creation Tara (beautiful and hilarious, all in one)  :^O

I'd have it on my shelf any day!

I've kept most of my children's masterpieces, where possible. A couple have crumbled over the years and have been discarded  😞   - wish I'd thought of taking photos

Very sad - I've just had to put my cat's castle out for recycling.

My son made it for a project in year 7, a great big castle cut from a box and painted, with windows and those castly bits at the top (forgotten what they're called).  Our cat decided it was for him and wouldn't leave it alone.  When the project was done, son asked if he could bring it home for his cat, but it got lost somehow.  Almost a year later he found it under a teacher's desk and explained, teacher agreed and was glad to get it out of the way.  For almost two years the cat has been king of his castle, not letting any other cat (including our other one) into it, defnending it by poking his paw out to any would-be intruders!  It had a working drawbridge too,all mod cons you know!

Eventually it became so scraggy that it had to go and now it sits forlornly in the drive with the recycling and I've had to stop the cat seeing.  We're going to make him another one in the holidays.  It's sad 'cos I remember the fun we had making it, son being happy when he found it again and brought it home for his cat and the hours and hours of pleasure the cat got out of it - it tells a story.

Now you know I'm mad don't you?!

Battlements?

[twishy123]

castellations? 🙂

[kiss*my*pixel]

Turrets and Castellations both valid and worthy suggestions, but I think Maggie has it with "Battlements".  😄

[ilove2patch]

I must have been watching too much Game of Thrones! lol;-)

[bankhaunter]

It is castellations :-), a nut which has slots cut into one side so that a lockiing wire passed through the bolt can rest in a slot, is known as being castellated.

A couple of pots made by my daughter and a fish by my son, have been decorating my shelves for over forty years.
