Schwarzenegger In A Fishbowl

In the Year of Darkness, 2029, the rulers of this planet devised the ultimate plan. They would reshape the Future by changing the Past. The plan required something that felt no pity. No pain. No fear. Something unstoppable. They created 'THE TERMINATOR'

Then some mush went and stuck him in a fishbowl!

After yesterdays Terminator robot fishbowl I give you the Arnold Schwarzenegger Terminator Fishbowl.

Let me know what you think in the comments, or on Facebook, or on Twitter!

Infact Follow me on Twitter, because so far Ive got two followers, which is pitiful.

Awooga!!!

So, I made a Fishbowl for my daughter, and it got me thinking what other themes might people appreciate???

The only person currently in the house who's answer wouldn't be In The Night Garden is me, so thinking cap is well and truly on.

What do I like? Beer, football, wasabi nuts,.......... erm........... thats about it, how depressing!

Adulthood has got its claws in deep, its removed my creative flair, not sure any of those interests lend themselves well to a custom fishbowl.

So what did I used to like? Tizer, computer games, party rings . . . . . . .  erm  . . . . . . . . Got It!!!

Gladiators!!!!

The treat of a 90's Saturday night sandwiched perfectlybetween Youv'e Been Framed and Blind Date.

They will look great in a fishbowl, and Terry willlove darting between their Lycra Clad legs!

Get your foam hand out and give a big AAAWWWOOOGGGAAAAAA!!!!! for the first couple of Gladiator Custom Fishbowls

Stick It In A Bowl

So, my little girl has a goldfish, which lives in a goldfish bowl.

The bowl was empty and the goldfish (Terry) needed furniture. We looked through the usual decor, the bridge, the treasure chest, even a diver but none of them caught her attention.

Ine thing that did catch her attention was In The Night Garden. Too much! It caught her attention to the point of driving her parents mad. Iggle Piggle, Upsy Daisy and all the other weird and wonderful characters seemed to fill her developing mind.

So sprung an idea, or a ghost of an idea, why not put a ITNG feature in a fishbowl?

So I did, and my daughter loved it, and Terry loved it, so much so terry would brush past it and often knock it over. If he was going to live in his Makkapakka paradise we needed some adhesive!

I remember watching a program on the Discovery channel or some other such network on Deep Sea Divers fixing coral reefs with Super Glue, seemed to make sense!

Before I made any permenant changes to Terry's abode I decided to go a quick google, just to check all those chemicals wouldnt effect his sensitive gills. Turns out there is split opinion of the merits of Super Glue and goldfish bowls but there is something out there, Epoxy Resin, which is used in the industry and totally safe. Armed with this knowledge and a couple of tubes of this gear I set about securing Upsy Daisy and MakkaPakka into position.

And thats it, a custom fishbowl was born! Ok, maybe it wasnt as easy as that, I had to find a suitable bowl, find a plynth for the figures, steam and scrub the feature, patiently glue it all together and test it out.

I love it, my daughter loves it, and most importantly Terry loves it.

It got me thinking, I wonder if anyone else wants one, what weird and wonderful themes would people come up with if I was to offer a bespoke fishbowl creating service.

Anything goes if you can stick it in a bowl!
