Glow in the dark Merry-go-round

[zan29]

New project coming soon with musical movement and elephants glowing in the dark.
This was a fun project to do and my little niece is already in love with it.

Musical mouvements and turnatables are available at http://meiselwoodhobby.com/Products/ViewProduct.aspx?id=43018
with different themes.

Very nice. Another neat addition would be lithopain back lit for animals.

I have thought about it but the wires would get all tangled up when you crank it...I assume!

At Christmas time I bought a bunch of 10-light strings, powered by batteries. This would be a great use for them :)

What creates the glow in the dark? What are the animals made from? Where they cut on the cw and then heated to bend, they look to be rounded or maybe it's my eyes. Anyway great job.

The glow is created with a special paint from Martha Stewart that you can purchase at Michael's craft stores. The elephants are just carved in pine at .700" with a bubble puffing which gives it that rounded look! They are all patterns so no need for the extra software to carve them and they are FREE with the project......yeah! :p
