OMG.... it's sooooooooo not funny!! LOL
The "lurker" I have listed at the moment is actually the Mk II version.... I spent three days making an awesome one the same, was soooo proud... chucked him in the oven, set the timer, and went down the other end of the house. Ten minutes later b/f goes "is something burning?" We walk out of the lounge and the hallway and kitchen are filled from ceiling to shoulder height with thick black smoke!!!! The oven had been set to grill, and because he's so tall, he was nearly touching the top element. It was a big charred pile of bubbling black.... and HIGHLY TOXIC!!!
Lessons learned....
1. Check the oven is on bake, not grill! 2. Check the smoke alarm more often. 3. Check the oven is on bake, not grill! 4. Don't leave the kitchen while baking. 5. Check the oven is on bake, not grill!

If anyone has seen the tutorials on O.O.A.K art dolls they all use the little red pointy rubber thing, I found where you can get them!!!!! if you didnt already know they are called ribbon tools, I got a pack of 5 from the pharmacy in the dental section also known as gum massagers. I stuck mine on the end of a knitting needle. I LOVE IT!!! and its only around $5 for 5.

what do they look like lindiloo? Do you have a link so we can see? These days I use clay shapers. colour shapers, a dental tool and a skewer, but I am always interested in trying out another tool, especially for fine work.

Lindiloo I managed to get one but the one I have is called a Gum Stimulator and is $9. They ordered it in specially for me so couldnt really turn it down. Its got its own handle as well but awkard to use with the shape so might end up pulling it off and doing what u did with knitting needle or maybe skewer/chopstick. They can get replacement rubber ends they told me but as of yet they didnt know the price. My advice for anyone wanting them would be to just ask for the Gum stimulator replacement ends. Chemist told me they were sold in sets of 3. But hey they are sooooooooooooooooo good for doing ears, nostrils etc. Not had much chance to play yet but I think it will be invaluable. Thanks sooooooo much for the tip off Lindiloo

I would like to thank Lindiloo and Kimmie very much for the tip of gum stimulator tool At the third pharmacy I was lucky enough to find one lonely refill pack Other wise I would’ve bought another for any who weren’t so lucky. I didn’t know what I was missing It is a fantastic tool for drawing fine details in clay and who knows what more Thank you very much ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

LOL Big round of applause I wanted to thank you too Kimmie cause you mentioned the refill pack which does help when you don't know which to chose and its a better deal (cheaper) and meant I didn't have to waste money on the tool when I could just get the tips
