TABLETOP FOUNTAIN






Friends,

i am posting the procedure for making tabletop fountain.i have made easiest possible description.you are free to ask any problem.



TABLE-TOP FOUNTAIN

As the name says,these fountains can be placed indoors on table tops,corners,stairs side,or as you like.these are portable and light weight.very easy to handle.



MATERIAL REQUIRED:



Thermacoal sheet:2” thick:1,and 1”thick : 1

Round,or oval,or square aluminium shallow tray with a minimum height of 6”.

White cement:7 kg.approx.

Grey cement:3kg.approx.

Fevicol:1kg.approx.

Enamel paints:brown,white,green,blue,each 50 gms packing.

Clear varnish:100gms approx.

electric motor:that used for coolers.it throws the water upto a ht of 3-4ft.



FOR DECORATION:



Green artificial grass,coconut trees,decorative figures,houses,animals,birds etc what ever you want to place according to your choice.



METHOD:



How to make a paste of cement?

For example,take 250 ml water in a plastic container.add 50 ml of fevicoal to it.stir well.now slowly add white cement to the liquid stirring to a smooth batter like consistency of cake.thick batter.this you have to make only in small quantities because it hardens very fast.



Now,make this paste.line the aluminium container with fevicoal and apply this paste as ineer coating.this gives protection to the pot against water.

Draw an outline on 2”thermacoal a bit outer than the size of pot.cut it by using cutter.

Mark the desired size to be left for the insertion of motor at the back.

Mark another cut for the fall to fall in the pot.

Cut atleast two sheets of 2”thick size.we need them to be placed on the top of container as the base for the fountain.

Apply the cement paste on both sides of sheets.and paste them together.now apply another coat of cement paste on the outer side of sheet and place it on the top of container.

Leave it for a day to dry.

Next day,place 1”thermacoal slabs cut into desired sizes as steps upto a height of atleast

15”.we will place a large slab on these steps to raise our house.

On the other side,prepare for the waterfall.you can make steps here too,or a simple stone wall.our fountain will fall as a large water fall.

To make a stone wall,break small pieces,square in shape(uneven sized).dip them in the batter of white and grey cement.and place one on other,.

When you have completed all the placements,now we will waterproof the fall.it should not split water on other things.
Place stones on the outer sides of the water fall area.pour enough white and grey cement mixer so that all the holes and openings are sealed.

Let dry for a day.

On the top of the fall area,place a small piece of 2”thick thermacoal.make a hole big enough to insert a flexible pipe for the motor.cut the pipe according to the height of fountain.

Place stones to hide the opening of fall.this looks otherwise as a tap running instead of a proper water fall.

Let dry for a day.

Next day have a trial for any leakage.

If any,pour cement paste on any possible openings.

When completely satisfied,give a first coat of white enamel paint.let dry.

Next day,colour the stones with brown,waterfall area with light blue,grass with green and so on.

Let dry.

Now,you can decorate at your will using fevicoal and plastic glue.

Apply a coat of clear varnish to give an instant glow and finishing effect.

Let dry.



NOW,YOU CAN PROUDLY PLACE THIS WATERFALL IN YOUR LIVING AREA AND ENJOy THE MELODIOUS SOUND OF WATER TRICKLING IN YOUR EARS WITH YOUR EYES CLOSE FOR A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.ACCORDING TO FENGSHUI,YOU SHOULD PLACE THIS WATERFALL ON NORTH-EAST DIReCTION.AND RUN IT ATLEAST ONCE A DAY.THIS WILL INCREASE THE CIRCULATION OF MONEY AND PEACE IN YOUR HOME.

calligraphy lesson 2

Now,we will see the way to make calligraphy strokes.there are 6 basic strokes:

I __ / \ ( )

1) Vertical
2) Horizontal
3) Diagonal left
4) Diagonal right
5) Left curve
6) Right curve

There are 26 alphabets in English vocabulary.all are formed by these basic strokes.
A : / + \ + __

B : I + ) + )

And all alphabets are formed in this manner.you see it is so easy to start with these strokes for a good handwriting.just practice all the strokes and,you will soon improve your skill in calligraphy.

The three styles have some basic characteristics.
1) Gothic letters have all these strokes of equal height,equal width,equal thickness.
G O T H I C
2) Roman letters have one stroke thick,one stroke thin.
R O M A N
3) Text letters are stylized letters.i.e.decorative letters with too much of designing part.these can be made by gothic letters,or by roman letters too.These letters are very popular as they look very attractive.

CALLIGRAPHY,THE ART OF CREATIVE WRITING







Visit blogadda.com to discover Indian blogs
Dear children,
Today we are going to talk of CALLIGRAPHY.do you know about it?actually,it may seem to sound as a new word,I am sure many of you are skilled in this art.
This is the art of creative writing.it is also known as TYPOGRAPHY or LETTERING.
WE CAN DEFINE CALLIGRAPHY AS THE CREATIVE AND ARTISTIC STYLE OF LETTER FORMATION.
This art is used in book covers,show cards,greeting cards,hoardings,signboards,etc.
You can improve your writing also by learning it.this will help you to gain more marks in your exams.
Calligraphy is done by two methods :
1) Graphing.
2) Freehand.
Principles of art:
1) Balance.
2) Symetry.
3) Rhythum.
4) Emphasis.
5) Proportion.
Principles or design :
1) Height.
2) Width.
3) Distance between letters.
4) Distance between words.
There are three basic styles of calligraphy :
1) Gothic.
2) Roman.
3) Text.
Then,these styles are again divided into many substyles.

RULES FOR CALLIGRAPHY :
1) Start with single stroke letters.
2) Strokes should be from up to downward and left to right
Direction.
3) round letters are a bit outer than lines.
4) The strokes should be finished in a single attempt.
5) Spacing:gap between two letters should be symmetrical.all letters are of different shapes and sizes.if equal space is left in between,the beauty of word is lost.this is called mechanical spacing.
We have to adopt OPTICAL SPACING,which means,space according to the size of letters.
