Mlle Germain:
TSK, that sounds like a really cool idea! I'm also not sure how heat resistant resin is - but I guess you probably looked that up.
I really need to go and find pictures of some of my older crochet projects and maybe take some of my newer ones, but the main problem is that I haven't yet figured out how to post images in this forum...
One of my ongoing projects (although I haven't worked on it for a while because it's so fiddly) is to make my own pattern for a crochet Gordon, the spider AnthroPC in the comic. When I finish that, I'll definitely show my version of Gordon to the forum.
pwhodges:
I presumed the trivets would be basically plain metal - painted rather than polished - and just have feet put on (maybe rubber feet).
Mlle Germain:
Ah yes, that makes sense... :-D
The Seldom Killer:
pwhodges - radiators only get up to about 60oC, The base heat for a pan coming off the hob could theoretically be as high as 200oC. My best options here are stove paint, BBQ paint or engine paint. The trouble there is that they should really be cooked off before use to release the fumes that are generated with heat and I don't have anywhere to do that at the moment. I'm going to see if I can find someone with a BBQ that I can use. For the feet I'm using chainring bolts (the bolts used to attach them to the cranks, spaced out with some general washers.
Most of the chainrings are aluminium and anodized so I won't bother with painting them as they'll be more attractive without, retaining their brand markings. Some will be a bit more tatty and need to be touched up in some way so painting will make them look a bit more like quirky kitchen equipment and less like a cyclists obsession.
Linds/Mlle Germain - Definitely not resin for the trivets. Heat resistance aside, the casting for something that size would likely be pretty difficult.

I'm pretty lazy, I just tweet my pictures, open the image in twitter, right click to copy image url and paste in using the image button above the reply box.
