Puri: Innumerable wishes continue to pour in for the Indian contingent at Tokyo Olympics with the artists bringing out their creative best to cheer the athletes at the games underway in japan’s capital city.
The latest to #Cheer4India is a teenaged girl of Puri, Nandini Pattanaik. She has carved a model of the Tokyo Olympic-2020 stadium with ice-cream sticks.
“Watching the opening ceremony on television, I told my father I wanted to design a model of the stadium and he suggested me to use ice-cream sticks,” 14-year-old Nandini told OdishaBytes.
She has used 8,000 to 10,000 ice-cream sticks and white card board in the model.
“It is 12 inches in height and three feet wide. It took me 18 hours to finish it,” said the 14-year-old.
A resident of Marchikote Lane here, Nandini said her father Banamber Pattanaik, who is a sand artist and also indulges in crafts is her inspiration.
“Since last four years, I have been doing crafts out of cardboards. I have started doing crafts from ice-cream sticks only recently,” she added.
A few days back, Nandini had crafted Suna Besha of Lord Jagannath in ice-cream sticks.
