Spin Painting.

[gness]

I like to learn one new activity or project each year....

Taking a break from turning a new but changed my mind coat into a waistcoat I had a noodle about for something to tickle my interest....and found it!


bliss.... :-) .

[Zacs-Master]

Looks like a load of Jackson Pollocks to me.

I remember seeing something very similar to this in about 1965 (at an Ideal Home exhibition that I was dragged to by my Dad) - until recently I still had my own effort in a drawer somewhere - I must have a look around.

[gness]

It looks like fun to me, Zacs......JP was a great artist to study with junior school kids...... ;-)

Dave.....do you keep your car in your garage?....x

[Lie-in King]

That does look like fun :-)

[gness]

Doesn't it LiK! I was wondering about the spinner but a Chinook has just flown over.......so a large model helicopter maybe......x

[Tilly2]

Fun but very messy. :-)

[gness]

Indeed, Tilly....but the fun outweighs the mess and hosing down afterwards....maybe wait till summer though... :-)

[Tilly2]

Have you got room in your garden for that contraption, Gness?

Don't splash the fence!

[gness]

Waiting for Dave's reply about his garage, Tilly..... :-)

[Mamyalynne]

Marvellous results, such confidence at work there - something I'd love to try if I had the space.

[gness]

It is the confidence, Mamya......dithering wouldn't give great results......
I could attach a motor to my Tilly Twister.... :-)

[Tilly2]

Great idea, Gness!

[gness]

Forgive me if I've posted this before, Tilly.....when my daughter arrived at Christmas she was freezing.....stood in front of the fire and began turning round and round to warm up....
I fetched the Tilly Twister.....stood her on it and we took turns to spin her around.... :-)

[tonyav]

Was that at Bingley hall, Dave ?.
Think it was that year that I was dragged around the Ideal Home Exhibition to, got bought a Spirograph though.

[sunny-dave]

Probably at Earls Court in London, tony - we'd moved to Hemel by then.

[Patsy33]

The possibilities are endless gness! Enjoy..x

[tonyav]

Ah right, maybe they had two back in the day Dave.

[gness]

Oh it is so tempting, Patsy.......wouldn't it be fun!...x

I have visions of two little boys in shorts being dragged around the Ideal Home Ex.....and being bribed just to stop the whinging.. ;-)

[tonyav]

Doh

[tonyav]

I did get to have a go at fencing though ( and nothing to do with pine lap either before you start, madam ).
With olympic coaches !.
