Many of my readers weren't alive yet when it was written. Eeks. The article was written by Mary Alice Hammond from the Armitage Academy, Kenosha Wisconsin. Her students' Darumas were made by papier-mache-ing several layers over 5" balloons or plastic sandwich bags stuffed with newspapers. I used the eggs to make it a real quick project to tuck in between other stuff we have been doing.<br /><br />When I eat dinner at my favorite Japanese restaurant, I can't help but notice that on the counter, which divides the hibachi table room from the rest of the restaurant, there rest a whole batch of Darumas.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-42044188427708944002012-03-09T09:57:13.038-05:002012-03-09T09:57:13.038-05:00Those are fun.

The large size of the eggs was great for making Darumas, but now that I'm using Easter eggs it gets too expensive to use the larger ones. These were a little hard to handle while painting, but we did them concurrent with another project so we could do one step (paint the face for example) and leave to dry while working on something else.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-69915337492419006332012-03-09T00:02:02.656-05:002012-03-09T00:02:02.656-05:00Thanks for the lesson -- I knew nothing about Daru...Thanks for the lesson -- I knew nothing about Darumas and now I do!!
