Napkins with Drawings of Different Ancient Castles

05/06/2014 3:32 AM

Why not use napkins with drawings of ancient castles while having a picnic at the beach? Before throwing them away, children could get inspiration to help them build an interesting sand castle.

Yes why not? Excellent parenting idea!

Have you done it? Maybe post a picture of the tallest, biggest and nicest sand castle you can find or build yourself!

BTW, did you know that the professional sand castle builders secure their work with sugar?

How does one get a photograph onto a napkin?

Lol.

No castles, sadly, no beach-scene napkins at the store and I'm lousy at drawing beaches (Lord knows I tried), and so I drew pictures of airplane tickets to Fiji, instead.

(Got any spare pictures of castles?)

There is a tiny little orangish-red symbol in the lower-left corner of your post that looks a bit like an Adobe logo? Was the image a PDF?

I believe so. Our computer expert will come down to our place next week. I will get a better idea of how this works. I am not sure how the drawing could be done. Applying a line on a napkin and such I am not sure of. Would some kind of dye be used to make the drawing? A bit of chemistry would naturally be required.

I can get an image when I send a message of this when I go to an e-mail from a e-mail stored in Draft. Might as well learn more.

I have other drawings of ancient castles in my sand castle file.

Maybe pictures of cards with Queens, Kings, Aces, and the rest of a card pack which could be used to play poker is a better idea.

Found this company that sells these fancy napkins set of 4 for $42.00, but only seems to be this one castle, the rest are various other themes....

We will all get together and email you some sand, you will have to figure out how all the grains go together to create a beach thou.

What steps did the original architect of an ancient European castle take. Lots of plans, knowledge of supplies needed, how the stones or whatever were placed together, critical path, bidding on different aspects of the construction, etc. Far fetched, indeed.

How do historians find out who the original architect for the castle was? How do they get hold of the plans?

Practical conversion of all of this into a practical scheme. Toy manufacturers, mold makers, draftsmen, tool kits. etc. Methods of solidifying the sand. Use of pebbles found on the beach.

Easy to overextend all of this. Far fetched indeed. But anyway.

Spinal Tap commissioned a model of Stonehenge by sketching on a napkin. They had to employ dancing midgets to get a sense of scale.

Because paper napkins are meant to wipe crud off of your face and hands. The party girls on last weeks "Shark Tank" were also pushing their disposable plates, cups, straws and other overpriced eco-friendly, but wallet punishing wares. Let's see.. $7.99 for eight 7" plates!? no thanks I have found that if I start to build a sand castle that others will join. For all of my 'picnics' at the beach (yes I can walk there).. I spend very little time looking at paper. The reason most napkins have generic floral designs etc. are economic. I never saw anybody jump up and go picking flowers after eating. The overpriced napkins and plates that have cartoon characters etc. on them are for the sucker buying them. Nobody else cares. Drink Coke to inspire the world to sing in perfect harmony.. next!
