Trolley Part Prints

 Attendees to the North East Association of Trolley Organizations annual "Winterfest",held atthe Seashore Trolley Museum on March 16th ,were able to make prints from old Trolley parts. We used heat sensitive foam that was heated with aheat gun and pressed on the parts. Then the foam was pressed ontoan ink pad.

These were my favorite, created by a little girl. I gave her no directions or any prompt to make a trolley picture!  I actually expected  most folks to make abstact patterns. This tiny girl, who had been riding trolley's with her family all day, made trolleys! and  all the choices were hers!

My favorite class from last summer was the Tiny Toy Theatre one where these two stood out.

 

I had almost nothing to do with them except for some slight "problem solving" here and there.

                  

It was ring day at KBIA last Friday! and the pendant design  by Sophia, age  9, made me reassured about motor skills in the under 10's!!
