My interest in music did not permit me to throw a wooden tabla (musical instrument). It was kept in store for a long time. All of a sudden ,an idea came to my mind to use it as a memorable decorative piece. So I started thinking about its use and ultimately a figure of a snake charmer was clicked.
Undernoted items were used to make it:-wooden Tabla, old news papers, wire, card sheet, cistern ball, fevicol, febicryl colours.
A long card sheet has been rolled several times and it was fixed in hollow place of tabla to use it as neck. Remaining space of tabla was filled with waste items viz waste foam pieces, news paper etc. The charmer's arms, hands and shoulders were made from newspaper and wire and these were attached with the neck with use of glue. The same procedure was adopted to make the legs. Legs were also attached to lower part of the tabla. Ears, nose , eyes and mouth were made from tissue paper and card sheet.The charmer's slippers were made from card sheet. to tie newspapers and tissue paper.
The charmer's flute (bean) was made from a cistern's plastic ball. A hole was made in the ball by piercing a hot rod across the centre. A pipe made from the news papers was passed through the hole to give the shape.
With the support of flexible wire,,the body of the snake was made from the newspaper and tissue papers. It was dried properly and was coloured with fabicryl colors. To give complete shape, clothes were fixed on the body.
