Building a Swing
Tellus-Art Academy...
A school in India, which is -the second part of a
social art project
Denmark - India and India - Denmark JOY OF GIVING ...
This drawing by Peter Varhelyi, was the starting point for swing project ...
It was a good experience to negotiate with the local craftsmen around the construction of the swing
This forging company would help us, and we negotiated to resolve -that they would give a portion of wages.
So were purchased iron, and I went with.
There were some problems with the construction -but we reached an understanding, and I thanked in my mind -that I have been so much with my father -and learned to think in practical solutions ....
The parts were welded together -it stood straight and was leveled wery nice
But the pipes had some welded chips - there could destroy both the children's clothes and tear them ...
So they sharpened it nicely and the result being almost evenly
It was great in the morning, to see the children's reaction when they saw the swing, still without swings ....
Now, the final assembly, and the swing can be suspended
And that is time to get a swing before returning to Delhi and away from
Kaliyanwala for this time.
BUT lacking the proper screws
and we have to run without swing ....
BUT
A few hours later, these photos -and where it's just a good feeling.
