The 'Blossom' Shaker

This is what J and I get into when we have spare time at home. This 'shaker' was made in Aug'08 actually but I never got around to taking any photos until now. It looks a little beaten now from J carting it around whenever it pleases her.

The pink thing in the middle is actually J's drawing of Blossom of Power Puff Girls, her favourite cartoon character for some time now. That black smudge near the midsection is supposed to be the black band around Blossom's waist.J has decorated the shaker frame with drawings of swirls and smudges of Stickles. Also a close-up of the plastic see-through area with various sequins and beads which we sealed in to make the shaker sound. A relatively easy and fun piece to work with when it involves kids, plus all materials are repurposed from items lying around the house.

Ok, smarta** answer frm J:-

Me: Auntie M wants to know what the various blings, beads and all that inside the shaker represent.

J (with exasperated look): they are beads, sequins la. Your need them to make the shaking sound you know.
