(open) art day art day!

Who: Open to everyone, come and mingle!
Where: Garden carriage
When: Kazoo 27
What: For today the garden carriage is turned into a place to get creative.
Warnings: There's cakes. And glitter.

Whether or not you heard Romeo and Madoka's announcement, you'll know about it, unless you avoid the garden carriage somehow for the entire day (and then from then on). The changes are simple, but hopefully something to be built on: an outline made in gold paint that takes the shape of a tree with large curling branches that greets the viewer from the longer width of wall, and a fishing net draped down the length of wall by the nearest entrance, with strings hanging off it for decorations to be added to. Posters seem to be all over the carriage, carrying messages in a childish yet neat handwriting, like "Are you having a fun day? Please vote art so we can have do lots more art together!"

Small sitting pillows have been placed around so people aren't sitting on the bed of stones, and the statues once there moved to other parts of the 'garden', leaving them with sounds of the running water to keep them company.

So, just what is there to do?

THE CRAFTS;
    The group have done their best to get as many art supplies as possible, with two trunks taken from the luggage car, and filled as tidily as possible. Inside one is a variety of papers, from tissue to cardboard, decorated and plain, some that's shiny, and even the kind for origami. There's also some sketchpads set out to the side, for any larger projects.

    And in the net trunk is all the rest you'd expect: the fun supplies. Paints, inks, glue, glitter, threads, ribbons, and wooden beads, and even scissors are set inside. Some of those paints? Why, they're even shiny paints, and plenty of them. There are books too, at different crafting levels. From how to make paper cranes, butterflies, flower garlands, and whatever else you might imagine. How about a tree with stars?

    Pretend what you want's inside them, and have fun.

    Or perhaps you brought your own craft along to the carriage. Whether it's knitting, sewing or anything else creative you'd like to do, there's definitely a place for that as well! It's like there are spots in the carriage that have been left intentionally empty for people to sit down with their own tools and work.

MEMORY WALL;
    Very, very simple folded animals have been put on the corners of where the netting is displayed, stretched out to make the most of the hanging that the netting provides (you have to get creative with what you can buy).

    Looking it over, there's already what seems to be names on cards, placed around different parts of the netting. Perhaps you may recognize some of the names as people who have been on the train before, but have since left.


CAKE;
    Of course there's cake. How else would they tempt people to come and sit down? There's one large cake made out of rainbow and sprinkles, and then a collection of cupcakes, all a mix of colours and whatever shakeable edibles has been decided to be plopped on top.

    There's also a few plates of simple yet sweet biscuits cut into a variety of shapes (cat heads, dogs, dinosaurs, and even...a train), some with light icing, some not. The quality is about what you'd expect from some kids having fun in the kitchen, and the recipes are simple for it. Don't worry; you might have glitter and sprinkles dropping onto your lap with whatever you pick up, but the shakers were about all anyone went wild with in the kitchen than the baking.

    Mami's helped to bring along refreshments in offering different flavours of tea, and there's even a few flavours of coffee to pick from too.

    So grab a cuppa, a piece of cake, and have fun pretending you're five and in art class again and create a masterpiece.

    Or even show others how to.

"Well, you've earned my vote!" Della happily replied. "One hundred percent!"
myblueskies: (they really are delicious apples!)

"Really?" He looks surprised it worked. "That's great! Thank you miss!"

He hoped lots of people decided to vote, having an art carriage would just be so much fun!

Have an affectionate hair-ruffle!

"Hey, enough of the 'miss' stuff. Della will do."
myblueskies: (of course!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-04-26 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay Della!" He grinned at her and looked around.

"Did you try all of the art yet?"

"You bet! I've made a picture of my kids, and played around with origami. Those paper planes are the best."
myblueskies: (they really are delicious apples!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-05-01 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"The paper planes are really fun! Mister Gen showed me how to make them when he got married to mister Senku!"

And they were very fun to make and fly!

"Can I see the picture of your kids?"

"Sure thing! ... It's not very good, though."

She ruffled around in her jacket before pulling it out - four stick figures with very large heads, and with beaks. But they're all different colors - blue, green, red, and pink. The pink one is extra glittery.

"Wow!" It might be very simple but Romeo's face lights up in a grin. "That's amazing! What are their names?"

Four kids is a lot! She must have been very busy looking after them all!

She pointed to each one. "This is Dewey. He loves to sing and dance anywhere and everywhere. This is Huey, who can memorize anything and reads super fast. This is Louie, who is really good at understanding everyone around him. And this is their best friend, Webby. I've kinda taken her under my wing."

Little bird joke.
myblueskies: (of course!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-05-03 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Wow!" They all sounded great, Dewey, Huey and Louie and Webby! They sounded like great kids.

"Under your wing?" He looked at her for a moment, "Is that a metaphor?"

Her jokes are always under-appreciated.

"A-hem... It means to teach someone what you know, and look after them!"
myblueskies: (of course!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-05-03 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ah okay!" He nodded, "So she's not really your kid but you look after her anyways? That's really nice of you!"

"What can I say? I love kids." And she gives Romeo and affectionate hair ruffle to show she means him too.
myblueskies: (of course!)

"That's 'cause you're a really nice grown up!"

He grinned at her as his hair was ruffled.

"I try my best. That's all you can ever ask of anyone - to just try their best."
myblueskies: (of course!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-05-08 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's very true miss!"

All anyone could ever do was their best!

"And I always want you to remember that, okay?" A little smile.
myblueskies: (they really are delicious apples!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-05-09 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"I will miss!" He nodded. "I promise."
