The Pig has Landed

[amberdreams]

Something cheering for the weekend - for me anyway! LOL
My piggie is safely on the Cornhill in the rain; three kids passing by got the joke and one had her photo taken with him already.
And here's a bigger kid having her photo taken.

Pig outside the bank. When walking round to see what other pigs were out and about, we heard one girl asking where the slot was for the money to go in...ha ha ha!

I think this was my fave detail on the ones we spotted so far. On Steam Punk Pig, down Museum Street

The trail opens properly tomorrow, and I'm on Pig trail duty on Tuesday and Friday mornings. I think we get uniforms - hope it includes a waterproof jacket as the weather is well dodgy at the moment!

How many did you paint? They look wonderful!

Just the Swinions one and I was lucky to get my design accepted as many of the artists are professionals. It's all based on sponsorship and mine didn't find a sponsor until the last minute! But there are 39 big pigs on the trail, and 30 mini pigs done by schools, so there's a big variety of designs :D

Aww, Piggion (Minipig?) looks great! I like Steam Pig, too. (And yes, they'd better give you a nice mac!)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

He's called Swinion! LOL
Most of them have pun-filled names.

Hee!

So friggin' cool (I probably said that before;) My goodness, woman, that pig is almost as big as you!

That steampunk snout is very clever. We are totally gonna talk pigs when we meet up. TWO WEEKS TO GO!!!

Squeeal! Can't wait. And I'll be a pig expert by then (well, I'll have done two sessions as a Pig Trail Maker anyhow)

DUDE that is amazing :DDDD Look at that, he's fantastic :DD

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

And the one with the missing snout isn't very noticable LOL

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

*snorts* He's obviously a post modern piglet ;)

You'd need a lot of pennies to fill that piggy bank up!

How many piggies will there be on the trail altogether?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

39 big ones and 30 mini pigs which various schools have decorated. They were all put in place today but the official opening of the trail is tomorrow.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Blimey, that must be a long trail! Unless it's fairly densely populated with piggies :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Here's the trail map - most are fairly close together, with a few outliers.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Oh I see yours on that list!
There are some awesome piggy puns there :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I think a lot of us had the same idea there! Shame they didn't want my Harry Trotter though LOL

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Oh that would have been good. A bespectacled pig with a scar on his forehead riding a broomstick!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

He didn't have a broomstick but he did have a magic manual under one arm and his owl under the other.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

That would work!

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

He looks perfect!!! And what a proud mum you look, too :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Ha ha my Swinion baby.

[big-heart-june.livejournal.com]

Well done, you! he is absolutely brilliant!!

[hugemind.livejournal.com]

Awww, your Swinion looks really good there in front of the bank! :D

[zara-zee.livejournal.com]

How exciting! I love that he's in front of the bank. That girl was right, he needs a coin slot!!! :D Good luck with Pig Trail duty. Hope you have a fun time. :)

[aerynsun5.livejournal.com]

So cute! I knew you'd be selected and that it would be awesome!

[jimbobjoe.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! Your piggie looks great!
