TILE PAINTING

This is my trial piece..........................Why?..............Yes.The out liner used here is not a white glass out liner.It is just fevicol.Is it true?Would you trust it?...................You must trust it.
Here the out liner is the mixture of fevicol and white fabric acrylic color.I don't know is this a correct procedure.But it is a different one to use.mixing should be done as soon as possible.Refrigerate it immediately and use whenever you want.I am so happy since i haven't hear about this method till now.
We should apply carefully because of its consistency.

This painting is done in the base of tile.So is called as a tile painting.Here i used glass colors.Now a wasted tile turn out a beautiful tile painting. I like this painting very much.

3D SWAN

This adorable swan is ready to swim .I like this very much.It is one of my favourite things in which i made.

I have made it using 3D triangles .Its procedure is posted in my previous post. Nearly 500 triangles are required to finish this swan.First we should know how to make these following things 

1.       body

2.       wings-2

3.       Tail

4.       Head

5.       Base for swan to stand.

MATERIALS:

Chat paper

Scissors

Required Triangles:

Body: 

 Stage 1-30 triangles

Stage 2-30 triangles

Stage 3-30 triangles

Stage 4-30 triangles

Stage 5-30 triangles

Stage 6-30 triangles

Wings:

Wing 1

        Stage 1-12 triangles

        Stage 2-11 triangles

        Stage 3-10 triangles

        Stage 4-9 triangles

        Stage 5-8 triangles

        Stage 6-7 triangles

        Stage 7-6 triangles

        Stage 8-5 triangles

        Stage9-4 triangles

        Stage10-3 triangles

        Stage11-2 triangles

        Stage12-1 triangle

wing 2

as the Same for wing1

Tail

        Stage 1-3 triangles

        Stage2-4 triangles

        Stage3-3 triangles

        Stage4-2 triangles

        Stage5- 1triangle

Neck and Head:

30 triangles

STAND:

       BASE 1-40 triangles

       BASE 2 – 55 triangles

PROCEDURE:

Body: 

Stage 1 and Stage 2:

A triangle has 2 parts.One is leg or tail and the other one is pocket.It has 2 tails and two  pockets.first we take 2 triangles.then take one more triangle and insert its pockets  into the two legs of these 2 triangles.Here we must insert into the  closesest legs in both of them.See next fig........now u can clear........

do the same for all  60 triangles.Now we can see two layer here.

Stage 3
similarly add 30 triangles here.now turn it upside down.....

Stage 4
next add 30 triangles here .

Stage 5
similarly add 30 triangles here

Stage 6
do the same procedure here also.

Now body part is over....................next wings................

Stage 1

here we add 12 triangles in the same manner.

Stage 2

add 11 triangles

Stage 3

 add 10 triangles

Stage 4

add 9 triangles

Stage 5

add 8 triangles

Stage 6

add 7 triangles

Stage 7

add 6 triangles

Stage 8

add 5 triangles

Stage9

add 4 triangles

Stage10

add 3 triangles

Stage11

add 2 triangles

Stage12

add 1 triangle

then its wing part will be.....................

do the same in its opposite side also.then we get two wings of our swan.....

 now wing part is over.next tail...........

TAIL:

Stage 1

add 3 triangles between the two wings.

Stage2

then add 4 triangles

Stage3

next add 3 triangles

Stage4

add 2 triangles

Stage5

next add 1 triangle

then its tail part will be.....................

 Now tail is over.Next neck...........
Neck and Head:

take 30 triangles and insert them one by one as in the fig......this gives a neck part.

remove 2 triangles in the  opposite side of  thetail.then attach this neck.now it will be................

STAND:

BASE 1-40 triangles

BASE 2 – 55 triangles

then place both of them like this............

now place our swan on the stand.......

something missing here is the eye part.using red and black marker i draw eye in a white chart and stick it.
now the swan is ready.................to swim

3D TRIANGLE:

This paper craft is an origami craft which means craft done by folding paper in Japanese language. Here a simple paper turn into beautiful shapes,flowers,birds ,animals etc……….. In my college days I learnt this craft .Now only I have got a chance to recall it for my lovely kids. It is very interesting to do. Children love this craft.

MATERIALS:

Chat paper

Scissors

PROCEDURE:

Take a 3”x1’’size rectangle paper.

Then fold it in half ( lengthwise ).see fig.

We can see the crease in center clearly.Then hold it in our hands as in the picture

Fold it as in the pictures.

Now turn it.

Do the following steps one by one

Now we get a triangle in 3D effect.

 It will be used for my next project.

THE ORANGE ROSE

Hi this beautiful rose is a new arrival in my small garden.These shots are taken in yesterday rainy morning .we can see those rain drops on the leaves and flowers.

closer shot of the bud is here..It is still waiting for the sun to bloom.

Unfortunately,yesterday one naughty little crow came here and damaged that flower.I think that crow was impressed by the eye catching color of this flower.

I have to take further steps to protect those flowers from birds.

ICE CREAM STICK BOX

This box is a pencil holder. This is a very easy and interesting project for kids. Under Parent’s guidance they do this project very easily.

 I here posted its procedure as a mini tutorial.

MATERIALS:

1.       Ice cream stick

2.       White gum

PROCEDURE:

1.Place two ice cream sticks vertically in a small distance as in the picture.

2.Then leave 1 inch in their two ends and apply white gum.

3.Next stick two sticks horizontally as in the pictures.

4.Apply white gum as in the picture.

5.Stick two sticks vertically as in the picture. They should be on the line of the sticks which we stick earlier.

6.Apply white gum as in the picture in step 4. Then stick two ice cream sticks horizontally. . They should be on the line of the sticks which we stick earlier.

Do the same as in the previous steps. Stick these sticks till we get a desired height.

Then for its bottom portion stick required ice cream sticks as in this picture. 

Now our box is ready to use.Its side view is……………………..

Its top view is……………………………..

If you want to decorate this stick stones, artificial flowers and etc.we also use this as a spoon holder, knife holder and etc.
