Christmas orders.

We've been really busy with Christmas orders again this year. The ever popular Christmas pudding piñata's being outranked by little monsters. Which was quite surprising. We'll add new photo's when we've finally caught up with everything and dealt with the giant balls and assorted body parts! 

 

 

Russian doll pinatas

  Not only are there piñatas that look like Russian dolls,

we can also make one piñata that slots inside another!

Or seven in this case. We'll add more photos and information when the flower tower is finally complete.



We had to stand on a chair to get a picture from above it's that tall!

Marble pot.

This is our first project, made entirely from paper pulp (and marbles). We used some 'antique' and some modern marbles (140ish) as something interesting to set into the mush.

We were a bit impatient and managed to squish the first layer. It still needs painting. The whole pinata lady family were involved in the making of it.

Sorry this picture is so ropey there was a giant inflatable pink unicorn trying to eat out of it at the time. Out of literally hundreds of pics this was the best. One day we'll get around to takeing some more!

We built the base first and then built up the sides a layer at a time. We really wouldn't recommend this as a first project with pulp! We got to this point and decided it would make a nice ash tray and that we never wanted to see the blooming thing again.

1st anniversary -

Today was the first anniversary of the piñata lady (And the piñata pimp as well as piñata face).

We made a giant neon pink willy with oversize balls. It was the first and only one where we used wool for a more 'realistic' effect. We were really worried it wouldn't sell and when it did it only went for 99p. Not remotely worth if for the 6 hours work that went into it.

Over 100 piñatas later we still don't have a proper website (long story), We're at least starting to get the hang of the sales side of things and we're still having fun doing what we do best!

Our 50th piñata was the camper van (my favourite) the 100th was probably the red heart. Hopefully next year we'll have a big party somewhere and celebrate in style (11/4/13).

We did have a celebratory bottle of tequila stashed but we drank too much of that last weekend and we're still at the point where we're swearing we'll never do it again! Maybe we'll save it for next year.

Christmas again!

The little monsters have been even more popular than our fabulous Christmas puddings this year. Our house is covered in random assorted body parts which seems a bit more fitting for Halloween than Christmas!

Will add some pictures when I've more time! If you're interested in placing an order or getting a quote you can contact us at pinatalady@gmail.com

Vip party - check out ma poles!

These aren't technically a piñata, but they could have been. This was a quickly knocked up cordon for a VIP party. There was a set either side of the red carpet and they looked pretty damn good at the event, even if I do say so myself.

The organiser couldn't find any to buy online and managed to talk me into it. We had to knock them up during a busy few days and they weren't as dry as we'd have liked but they worked quite well. The cord is Japanese silk bondage rope and looked great hanging between the cordon poles.
