 Carnival Calamity 2025 Part 7

On to the final part. I was getting concerned because I was running out of time. This is day before the Carnival and needs to be ready.

Terrible Geometry











I always have trouble with Geometry. I’m fine with ordinary 2D Shapes but goes all to pot when I need Depth. I did them best I could but I have run out of Time so am drawing by eye rather than measuring. I am supposed to have Two Cubes but they have turned out a bit rough.

I will Trim them up a little when I Cut them Out. I will also add Dots because they are supposed to be Dice.

Backgammon in Play










I glued the Dice in place either side of the Centre of the Backgammon Board. Now to put down the Counters.

I could have done the easy thing and gone for the Starting Position with the Counters. However I thought that would be a bit boring. Therefore I have gone with a more organic feel. I have the Counters in Play including one that is sitting out in the Centre waiting to rejoin the Game.

Too Hot









Arggh it is Too Hot! This is not good. The glue is melting. I am having to reapply it and stick down the points.

Snakes and Ladders











It is the morning of the Carnival and my boyfriend is decked out with the Snakes and Ladders Board. It is Pinned to his T Shirt using gold Safety Pins. I have put one in each of the corners. Hopefully it wont get too windy.

Backgammon Ready











My Backgammon Board looks great against this Blue T Shirt. This has been a very cheap way to dress up and add to the fun of going to the Carnival. 

P.S.

I took some spare Pins with me just in case we lost any. We didn’t and everybody loved our outfits. What is more I only need to remove the Counters and use real dice to be able to play.
