Thanks to a suggestion on these boards I have spent the morning making a photbucket album instead of sewing - o well - so now if you go here http://photobucket.com/albums/e81/Janicehodge/ you should be able to see my guts in all their glory! I am proud to say they are displayed (with labels) in the foyer at school and have made the front cover of the school newspaper known as Mrs Hodge's Innards.
love and kisses, Jan

Excellent work, Jan. :up: You get A+++ from me. :bg:

So how do you get the photo to 'appear' in the message? I have tried to do this and it hasn't worked.
Take care,
Donna

thanks Donna - we put them up a lad's jumper and explained what the 'drawing' part of being hung, drawn and quartered was! That was fun - the intestines just kept on coming!

When posting a reply, click on the yellow postcard with mountains on above the message box - it will say enter the text to be formatted in a pop up. Paste the URL to where your photo is hosted on the web - this nifty trick I learnt here at SWN! Go on - try it!
love and kisses, Jan

I really believed all that talk about intestines was just "talk." What a surprise it is to find out that they are a fact; and so very real looking.
Great work!

I did tell you earlier in the post Susie - NOW if I tell you I'm knitting something you will believe me!
Personally I am amazingly proud of how fab they have turned out thanks to one of the regular contributors of craftster who made the pattern. There are a bunch of us there who have spilled our guts but I haven't worked out how to post there yet.

The latest over at craftser is a sew your own foetus for an embryology class.... I wonder......it turns inside out like a popple......

So cool! I'm so glad you posted the picture, I've been wondering what the heck you've been talking about. That would have been a neat prop to have when I did the parts of the body with my grade one class. They would have been so thrilled. I don't really knit but I wonder if I could sew something like that up, its so great to have things for the kids to touch and play with. In a class discussion, one of my kids suggested the intestines were called testicles, thank goodness he nor anyone else in the class knew what testicles were or we would never have gotten any work done that day at all.

Jen - it really is a useful teaching aid - the womb/fallopian tube combo was helpfulas well as it helps to visualise the size of the organs. We all decided I wouldn't do male anatomy though!.

Liz, only if you buy a book! :wink:
Besides wasn't it Libby's aunt who knitted gentlemen cosies?

I am supposed to be decluttering at home prior to moving - that must be why I have been given a bag load of wool... I am knitting hats for shoeboxes but I havn't used astrakahn before - it is hard work as it is so knobbly.

Hi Karen - it is just you can't read the rest of the stuff for science week which is about the small changes we make can affect the current global situation eg 8,000 000 disposable nappies go to landfill in the UK alone every day! google click for the climate and view the pledges to discover how much carbon debt you can save.

I think I was new to the site for a couple of days and read your posting about making innards.
Now I know what you were talking about.
Way cool job!

being 'drawn' was highly amusing Ticia - the young man had his innards pulled out of the library and intot he corridor as he stood their doing his "Braveheart" impression.(I definitely prefer Mel Gibson!)
