Been to the mall lately?

Recently I went to Garuda mall off M.G. Road. They had a nice display this year for Christmas and New Year's Eve. I think they were going green. Displays were about safeguarding the environment. Its nice to see corporations take interest in environment. While these displays were educational, they are much more entertaining and eyecatching.

Uniform Designs




All my childhood I remember wearing uniforms to school, mostly blue and white. Uniforms are supposed to enforce unity among the groupbut many of these uniforms were tasteless, dull and, for lack of better word lame. I have searched the web for some better ideas. Here are a few good examples: Some of the School Uniforms

Some more school uniforms

Here are some uniforms for hotel employees

Uniforms for doctors, nurses, sports and business purpose.

Oragami - Chick face.

Take a sheet of paper, if it is a rectangular sheet make it a square. Most paper scultures (that is what I call oragami) need a square sheet so it is important to know this part well.
To make a rectangular sheet square:

Take the rectangular sheet and fold it diagnally so that the borders are aligned perfectly as shown below...

Now cut the extra piece of sheet.



Now open the diagonal piece that you have folded. You have a Square sheet in front of you...

To make a chick face:

Fold the square sheet diagonally, so that the corners align perfectly. Open it and fold the sheet against the second diagnal side.

open the foldings, then the sheet would look like this...

Now fold the paper as shown below, a little over the center.

open it again...

Now fold it again as shown below...

Turn it upside down and fold the top as follows...

Fold it on the sides as shown below...




Again turn the sheet, then the folded paper should look like this...

Now draw some eyes and a beak,


The Chicken face is ready...

Is't this an easy one, try it and we can learn more later...

See you soon with more Oragami - paper sculptures.
