But at one point in the show, a giant octopus-arm will come in on the stage. It\u00b4s about 4 meters long.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19668\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MG_6468-425x600-1.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_6468\" width=\"425\" height=\"600\"><\/p>\n<p>We\u00b4d already printed the pattern on the purple fabric in June (with a self-made stamp). Today I got the bottom-half of the fabric, and sew down the tentacles between two layers of the fabric. The shape itself was made in foam by a furniture-carpenter. Two meters into the arm there is a long plastic pole, so one can operate the arm. But I have to admit, it\u00b4s a bit heavy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19669\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/MG_6469.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_6469\" width=\"350\" height=\"233\"><\/p>\n<p>After the pieces were sewn together, I spray-painted the underside, to even out the borders and to make it more 3D. Looking at the before and after pictures, I am sure you can agree there is a certain improvement in \u201cjelly-ness\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19670\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MG_6473-450x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_6473\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p>Back at home, my niece and nephew visited for the daily summer-holiday-craft-workshop. Tonight we made wine-cork mirror-frames. The frames are from IKEA in raw wood. This was originally my nephew\u00b4s wish to make. He started collecting corks half a year ago, and had 11. For a frame this size they needed about 30 corks. Good thing I still have a collection.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19671\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MG_6475.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_6475\" width=\"350\" height=\"525\"><\/p>\n<p>I&amp;amp;nbsp;think they were both surprised at how much muscle-work it is to cut the corks in half. They were also a bit nervous about the very sharp knives. Wise kids. And the glue-gun. They aren\u00b4t allowed to use it in school because it\u00b4s so dangerous. But they handled it perfectly and didn\u00b4t get burned once. (Which is more than I can say for myself)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19672\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MG_6480-450x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_6480\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p>Two happy kids with new mirror-frames.
