Here's our entry for the May Artsy Crafty challenge !
I had some thermocol packing material that came along with TV or Music system. Don't remember which one ! I thought I will use that to come up with some thing !
After great scrutiny (yes, it was too haphazard and could not be used as such!), I spotted a mini staircase form at one end and my mom spotted a sloping area at the other end.
So we combined both to make an
So we combined both to make an
Indoor Thermocol Slide!
The staircase and the sloping portions were separately carved out, refined and joined to form a slide ! I used the back of a gift wrapper for the slide and the steps and the proper side of another ordinary gift wrapper for the body !
The view from the back side
Jillu had great fun with making the dolls play on the slides :) which made me want to make some more and i took the next obvious step !
2. The Thermocol Jhoola
From the left over thermocol cut various lengths and made a swing out of it !
This time I wanted to try out a different texture, so applied water colors on the thermocol!
While I was busy making these, Jillu was busy chasing bits of thermocol pieces and colouring the left over pieces and asking me for the umpteenth time,
"Amaa, nee yenna panre ?" (Amma, what are you doing ?)
"nee Jillu ku yenna panre ?" (What are you doing for Jillu ?)
Hey both looks gr8,and as usual your entry is on the last day :).
ReplyDeleteWe both colored thermocol using water color but its not sticking to it much,do you had such problem or some tricks were there?
@AA : hehe.. last day.. yaah :)
ReplyDeleteno tricks, just plain water colours. as you can see even in my pic, it wont stick completely. just try 2 or 3 coats. And apply it thick where its too bad !
