At last, the Clangers are returning next Monday.
One of the supporting cast was the iron chicken.
As a tribute to Oliver Postgate, I made an Iron Chicken. It is perhaps a little oversized, being 3 times the pattern size suggested in this book bought for me for my 50th birthday.
So this is it, my own personal iron chicken, made using a mixture of old and new skills: plasma cutting, fabrication, MIG welding and good old blacksmithing.
Long live the clangers.
Our collection of original Clangers memorabilia has suddenly become very much more valuable 🙂
Shall I buy a couple of Clangers duvet covers next week when they go on sale? I could join them together with some Clanger-pink sashing to fit our super-king quilt. I doubt they’d make them in that size….
It goes without saying that we will need 2 plus a couple of spares.
But all of the Clangers we have are now whistling pitifully because they want one each. And the Soup Dragons want some to use as tablecloths in the soup/blue string kitchen.
