Nendo Ninja & THE remote control device

Something we made earlier

In the grabby, clingy class with A-sensei today - some adorable friends but also some incredibly annoying danglers & pokers. One thing for sure, I will not get any relief from the teacher as she is a real butterfly, fluttering in & out of her room as often as she can...having said that, she does run out of ideas more often and try to do stuff in English, like the class register. Today though, I was out of my depth as she expected me to be a nendo ninja - my buddies were at various stages of making unidentifiable objets d'art - and could I do repairs, rebuilds and refinings?

Look, I made a.....

Erm. No! I was crap at this when I was lad and never progressed beyond, well, this level = handles gone wonky on mugs which weigh a ton, squirls of 'sausage' type clay which everyone thinks is a big pooh, or balls of the stuff which look like balls of the stuff...Oh yes, I can help!

I do get the need to leave the classroom and take a deep breath, though. A walk down the hall for a peer into the other rooms helps me remember the traumas I just had the other day with the runny nose monster or the arm-hair-remover-girl, so maybe today's 'pick-me-up-and be-a-swing' isn't so bad? Mmm. Just a different kind of purgatory?

Now I can control the world!

I decided to amuse myself, and build a remote control for everybody's robots, built out of kitchen bits & bobs - milk cartons, bottle tops, straws etc...you will already know my arts & crafts skills are remedial, but if I look like I am doing something important/creative, I get moderately left alone (depending on where I hide!).
