Jeani as Aladdin with her Small Genie :) (by sarah)
For World Book day Jean's nursery did a fancy dress - come as your favourite character. Jean decided she wanted to be something from a pink book - this turned out to be Aladdin - this was good as it was relatively easy to do.
For a start I had the chinese outfit from christmas - then insued the arguements amoung the adults about were Aladin was from - I thought it was chinese, dad thought he was an arab and Al (as in Alaric not aladin) thought that it was Pursian. So we looked it up and discovered that it was an arabic story based in a chinese city so the flavour of the culture permeated the story.
It came form the 1001 arabian nights which was interesting too 🙂
Anyway Jean is grumpy in the mornings and refused to smile for the camera she seemed to be worried the flash would wake the genie up!
The whole Jean and genie thing was what sold Jean on the idea of being Aladin as long as she got a pink lamp!
As you can see she has a pink lamp, guilded with gold - I made it out of papier machie and Jean painted the pink onto it. The full story of the lamp will shortly (well probalby in a few weeks) be appearing on Salaric Craft.
Dad helped make the lid which was a bit tricky as it actually fits onto the lamp!
I then made a small genie for Jean to go in her lamp - yes I know its a fairy but it was for Jean and she thinks she should be a genie and well there's the thing about three wishes with both etc...
Again instructions on this will appear on Salaric. Jean asked for another genie and a second lamp!
