Souvenir, Souvenir

A few of you may remember me writing about this giraffe art in May. Indu works at the Mumbai Mobile Creches Centre, making art and objects from very little (children's books made from cotton silk tree seedpods - beautiful!). One of her latest projects is souvenir art, combining memories with memorabilia. Toll tickets to Gokul were her inspiration for this dancing couple. She's also come up with a lovely bus.
I thought this was a nice idea for the Summer holidays. Indu will gladly create a collage for you if you drop her line, or why not collect tickets, photos, timetables, shells, dried flowers, etc and let your children make one of their own. I'm sure Indu and her little art students would love to see your photos!

One Million Giraffes

Pottu/Bindhi Giraffe on Newspaper - The Conversation Compiler

One million giraffes in a year? Can it be done? Norwegian web developer Ola Helland thinks so, in fact he's bet his friend Jorgen that by the end of 2010 he will have collected one million handdrawn / handmade giraffes from around the world, all thanks to the internet.
So far, he's received 826,519!

Just look at these lovely ones sent in by some of the children at the Mumbai Mobile Creche Centre. I love the fact that they were painted on different regional newspapers to celebrate the pluralism of India.
