Craft: Paper Monuments

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I'm still at the little paper monuments. My British Houses of Parliament turned out very good. I plan to keep it and blow it up on November 5.



My Colosseum is a bit fiddly and I have no lions to put in it. I just have to put my head very close and whisper-chant 'Maximus! Maximus!" and pretend it's real.



Minor was in charge of making the Parthenon but he decided to use it in one of his 'inventions' and alas Doric columns don't stand a chance against the destructive ingenuity of a nine-year-old.

Sad about the absence of lions, but the monuments do look good. I'm not surprised the Doric columns didn't survive!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Yeah, they're toast. I don't know what I'm going to do next. There is a Great Wall of China. There is also Chican-Itza.

Hee! Those are great!

It sounds like Minor got your money's worth out of the Parthenon.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thanks!

Hee, hee. I've tried all kinds of fancy toys but recently their favorite thing is an 82 cent spray bottle. :)

Cute! Please post pictures of the explosion.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I will. Gun powder and treason! I could make a White House but I fear the hourly urge to blow that one up a la voodoo doll is too tempting.

Heeee. I love it.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you very much!

A fine Parliament building:-)...tiny suggestion...Guy Fawkes got as far as he did with his plot by not announcing his intentions too far ahead...the establishment might be in wait for you.

Excellent colosseum....a couple of whispered quotes from Gladiator should indeed do the trick.

Now, you could learn from Minor re spontaneous unheralded destruction....

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Heh, heh. I should definitely say I'm NOT going to do anything to the Houses of Parliament on November 5 and whistle innocently.

Thank you!

He does have a knack for demolition!

These are marvellous! I had the Gladiator theme tune in my head when I read you chanting "Maximus!".

Ah yes, a 9 year oldest destructive power is potent. I trust you both had fun! :D

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Yes, lots of fun! Thank you!

[autumnia]

I love that you plan on getting more fun out of the Houses of Parliament. What a way to celebrate Guy Fawkes and Bonfire Night. :-)

The urge to blow things up isn't one I often get to indulge! Should be interesting.
