squirt!

spray!!!

Videos we took of Ajay and Arul playing in rain that we created. This time we had no issues with the costume. The size was much better for Ajay and the back container we tied on better this time around. They had such fun playing …it made us super happy too!

specification sheets for the rakshashas

laser cuts!!!

Just back from the laser cutters. Sorry the images are quite terrible, as i took them on my phone. But i think that the pieces look great:)

I also managed to quickly self learn some corel draw today as there were many issues with importing an adobe file to a printable eps. Little frustrating- but good fun!

aaaggghhhhh

Making the head for the sand filtering rakshasa. (Tisha we need to name them!!!)

This guy turned out to be quite a toughy to make. Template after template. The wire frames kept moving and changing the pattern, as tried to stitch it. And somehow the shape we wanted just wasnt coming.

However, after many tries, finally we got something that we are reasonably happy with.

laser cut on rubber

Initially we tried cutting rubber that was 2.5 mm thick (used in car tires), however, these results weren't very good. The cuts weren't neat.

This is cut into rubber 1.5 mm thick. This thickness worked well. However, we should stay away from very fine designs as the machine melts the rubber, and so the thickness of lines it creates is a lot less accurate.
