Welfairies unite
i thot my career in arts and crafts would have ended with 25th anniversary, but apparently, i was wrong. todayy, i went to school to make
mrs chia's bday prezzie - a life size welfairy and a picture book of shoes (haha, in case u dint know, she's crazy over shoes :P)
hehhs. right from the start when
wes described the steps to do the welfairy, i knew it was going to be insanely crazy to make. true enough, we faced lots of probs while making it and at some point or other we would be complaining, lyk how difficult it is to create a model out of wire, how the double sided tape sucks etc. and when i get bored, i start making lame comments. heres the WORST joke of the day:
hello, is that a halo?luckily i brought my cam so u all can get to see the process of making a welfairy! unfortunately i dint set the date correctly so the timestamp is wrong. ):
after much hard work, we created a wire sphere, which is the head of the welfairy. though it looked a little deformed... :P
a wire frame of the skirt!
denise arrives and at last we have a girl to help a bunch of guys with craftwork! i swear guys suck at crafts! anw, shes wrapping up the head of the welfairy now...
wes introduces triangulation to stabilise the skirt framework!
a wing of the welfairy done by me!!! A GUY DID THIS!
the skirt is up, with a beautiful ribbon! now the welfairy begins to take shape...
how can fairies not have wands! we created a star shaped wand for the fairy, and denise doesnt seem pleased in this photo for obvious reasons. :P
the welfairy, with eyes, mouth and a veil.
me and the almost-done welfairy (without wings and hands)
yeahh, unfortunately it was alr 7ish and i had to go baq, so i wasnt there when the whole welfairy was completed, but as u can see, it was real hard work, esp since we had mostly guys working on this. once again, GUYS CANT DO CRAFTS! ):
oh yeahh, heres some of the shoes we r giving
mrs chia, though we speculated that she would prolly point to the pics in the book and go:
ooh, i have this! oh! i have that!
haha. and here are 2 failed attempts to create the word WELFARE! there were more failed attempts, but
denise was so sad that she dint want to pose anymore. :P
other things that happened todayy: ccad had their structure building session, where they learnt how to tie knots and build structures. since ccad is so trivial compared to welfare, plus the
all rounded loser comes from ccad, ccad only deserves one photo. =p
and then later,
chinghui said he saw a dead bird and we decided to take a picture of the murder scene as incriminating evidence. ;) but in view of the wisely show i watched today, maybe it wasnt so good an idea to check out the dead bird. (:
i must say that making the prezzie has been real fun, though i sincerely hope this spells the end of my art and craft career in RJC. :P
