Rice Paper Wood

Anyone have a good idea for a homemade instrument?

My son is working on a project for elementary school. He is to make a homemade instrument. He has to e able to demonstrate it to the class, and explain how the instrument makes sound, vibrations, pitch, and volume. They give a few suggestions, but I really would like for him to be able to make something different than what was given for examples. The idea's that were given were as follows:
Bass Fiddle w/coffee can/string & a wood block
Rubber band, Shoe Box Guitar: Shoe box, rubber bands
Tin Can Drum, Glass Bottle, Xylophone - w/copper tubing & tape, Clay Flower pot
Bongo Drums - w/Oatmeal boxes & tape
Pie Tin Cymbal
Plastic Egg
Spoons
Straw Flute & Trumpet
Comb Kazoo
Glass Bottle Horn
I was thinking about making a rain stick w/a paper towel tube w/placing frozen orange juice tops half way through either side of the tube - sticking out somewhat through the sides, and attaching them w/tape then filling the tube w/macaroni or rice for the sound & having him decorate it.

i would go for the rain stick! we have a really one and the kids love it!

Asian Decor

Decoration of Asia is becoming a more popular form of decoration and concentrates main things in a room while keeping things to a minimum. One of the main focuses of this decoration is the color. Red is the color of the most used because red is believed to bring good luck, but, tans, browns, gold, and gray also be used in Asian decor. earth tones are a good way to go in Asia and when the wood decor is used should be chocolate or burgundy. The colors are the foundation of Asian decor and lead to fully embracing the Asian culture in a room.

Another major focus is the Asian decor room dividers called Shoji screens. Screens Shoji are traditionally white rice paper with symbols of the art of Asian cultures that are attached to bamboo or other types of forest. The room dividers are a major focus, because the planes of Asian decor is minimal, ie there is not much to do or much disorder. Shoji Screens decorating supply over a window or a wall ugly or you can divide a room in spaces more functional and personal. Shoji screens will allow light to diffuse through them, often creating a quiet space. Using Shoji screens with other Asian influences give a real sense the real space.

window treatments can be as important as Shoji Asian decor screens. Window treatments are intended to balance the room, not much should be colorful and printed if the room has a tone neutral, but window treatments should be simple if the color palette of the room is colored. window treatments can be as simple as bamboo blinds or textured fabrics with tassels. In addition, a Shoji screen can serve as a window treatment if placed correctly, the meaning of this screen allows light to come through.

Along with Shoji screens as room dividers or decoration, decoration of Asia also uses natural elements to promote peace and energy. Bonsai trees and bamboo is a common decoration in Asia. You might also consider adding a rock garden or an arrangement of water as a drop of water or still water with fish. The nature adheres to the simple design and quiet of the Asian decor. Furniture in these rooms must have a function multiple, such as a futon bed and a chair, and make the colors of the floor coverings. Asian decor no groundwater use Carpets wool have chosen the colors of the walls in them.

It is important to remember not to overdo the Asian decor. This is a very minimal art form and a few well chosen pieces go a long way. Buddhism also has a strong position in the Asian decor and a Buddha statue may be as important as a Shoji screen. Asian decor focuses on the balance of the house, so it is soothing and calm, and promoting feelings of peace and serenity. Staying in tune with nature and focuses on staying simple is the key to Asian decor.
