0:01:18 > 0:01:21Hope it's not something valuable.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Wow! A diamond ring.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27There must be some kind of a mistake.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32"You've got my diamond ring.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46Not only does this guy write in short sentences -
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I think he has a short temper.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Maybe he's out after a long prison sentence for diamond robbery.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I best lie low and avoid that door.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03I need to stay safe and keep THIS safe
0:02:03 > 0:02:05until I decide what to do with it.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I've got an idea where I could put it. It's...
0:02:08 > 0:02:11the Art Ninja piggy bank robber.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13So I've got a balloon down here -
0:02:13 > 0:02:16it'll become the main part of the pig's body.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Tie that off.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I've got a crisp tube here, but any tube with a lid will do.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Now I want to cut it just over the halfway point.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29To get my scissors in there, protect
0:02:29 > 0:02:31my fingers with some modelling clay.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Poke a hole with a pencil.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Now I'm going to attach this to my balloon using masking tape.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47This crisp tube is going to become the snout.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Next, I'm going to make it some legs, or trotters.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52I'm using an old egg box.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54These make perfect little trotters.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59There you go.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Now I'm going to tape those onto the balloon.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03It doesn't need to be super-tidy -
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I'm going to papier-mache this in a moment anyway.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Now I'm going to use the top part of this box here.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I'm going to draw some nice, little, pointy piggy ears.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I'm adding a little bit extra at the bottom, and that's going
0:03:14 > 0:03:17to become flaps so it's easier to stick it to the balloon.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Now I'm just going to cut some slits along this bottom flap.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Going to fold it slightly to give the ear a little curve -
0:03:25 > 0:03:27makes them look more authentic.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Stick them on with some masking tape.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33There you go, he's looking pretty good.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35The whole structure of the pig's there,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38and I'll give it a nice layer of papier-mache.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41So I've got some glue and water mix here.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43It's three parts PVA and one part water.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I've cut my newspaper up into tiny pieces,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47just makes covering the whole thing up a lot easier.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49If you're doing this at home,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52remember to put some newspaper down to protect the table.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53I'm doing quite a few layers here
0:03:53 > 0:03:56cos I need the piggy bank to be very strong.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07There you go. I've done lots of layers of the papier-mache.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Now I could wait for that to dry,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12or I could use my ninja skills.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Check it out. I've also given it a lovely white undercoat.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Time to pop the balloon on the inside.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Now I need to make a hole for my coins to go in.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I'm going to start off with a sharp pencil and a book.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I'm just going to lightly hammer it in.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30There we go. And I'm going to make another hole at the back,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33and that's going to be for the tail.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Now I've got this hole here, I can cut a nice slot for my coins.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Make sure your slot is big enough for your largest coin.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42There we go. Now I can start putting on my design.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Mine, of course, is a bank robber.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I'm using pencil because pen will show through when I paint it.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50There's one of his eyes,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54and this bit here is going to be the mask to hide his identity.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Cheeky grin,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59and I'm going to give him a stripy top.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Now I've got a great guide, I can start painting it.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I'm going to start with his mask -
0:05:07 > 0:05:08I'm going to use black for that.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Now I'm going to move on to his stripy top -
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I'm going to do that purple and white.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Couple of bits round his trotters here.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Looking really good so far.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I'm using light pink to paint his face and his bottom,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32and I'm going to come back with a darker pink
0:05:32 > 0:05:34to do some little details.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Now, carefully, I'm going to add some highlights to the eyes.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Now I'm going to add a piggy tail with a pink pipe cleaner.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Just going to wrap it round a pencil to make it nice and curly.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56I've left a little bit straight
0:05:56 > 0:05:58so I can push it into the hole I've made in his bottom.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I've painted the lid from the crisp tube a dark pink -
0:06:01 > 0:06:04that's going to be the front of the snout,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07and now I'm going to add some finishing touches with a black pen.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Here's some nostrils and a cheeky grin.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17There we are - check him out.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19OINK! OINK!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Let's put a couple of coins in him,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24and, of course, you get them out by taking off the lid.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30But if you think a bank robber's a little bit too hammy,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33why not try one of these designs?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35A pirate, a clown,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37or even a baby.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38KNOCKING AT DOOR
0:06:38 > 0:06:40The door.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52Oh, phew! Sarah, am I relieved to see you.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I don't know, Ricky. Are you?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Yeah.- And what's that sparkling behind your back?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Nothing.- Come on, you can show me.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Nothing there.- Come on! - I can't.- Show me.- No.- Come on!

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Sorry, Ricky. I didn't know you were...
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Great, that's amazing news!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Bye, I've got to go.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Look what you've done now.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21SHE SIGHS
0:07:21 > 0:07:22That didn't look...?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24He wouldn't have thought that...?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26With Sarah?
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Nah.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Here's a quick art tip
0:07:31 > 0:07:33of how to draw a treasure chest.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37So I'm going to start with my chest bottom.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Nice big old-fashioned chest,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42maybe some cast-iron bars going across it...
0:07:44 > 0:07:47..and a couple of dots as bolts.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48And then a nice, big lock here.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Now inside the chest, I'm going to do a cloud,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56and that's going to be my heaped pile of treasure.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Now for the lid - a line across,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01and a slightly-rounded shape on the top.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06And some lines to add some perspective.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Now I'm going to decorate my pile of treasure.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12So let's put some gems in there -
0:08:12 > 0:08:13maybe a diamond.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18How about a nice crown?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Then some coins.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30And some lines to make it look like the treasure is shining.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34There you go - quick art tip.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Why don't YOU make some art to treasure?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44PARROT SQUAWKS
0:08:47 > 0:08:48All that business with the diamond ring
0:08:48 > 0:08:51and the scary man has sent a shiver right down my spine.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Really, if I had an X-ray, I think you'd be able to see it.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57That gives me an idea for some art.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Not so much an X-ray -
0:08:59 > 0:09:03maybe I can make my own version of a photogram picture.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Don't worry, all will become clear.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Let me just grab some interesting objects.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Right, so I've got myself a watch,
0:09:12 > 0:09:13some headphones,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15a pen,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18some keys, an old phone charger,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20a banana and some cool shades.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24I'm going to get some nice coloured paper,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26and I'm going to draw around these items.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Let's start with yellow.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29I'm going to start drawing round
0:09:29 > 0:09:32the banana, seeing as we've got the yellow out.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35A photogram is a form of art made popular by American artist
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Man Ray.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Did somebody call my name?
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Hey, Man.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Man Ray, to be precise.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45I beg your pardon, Ray.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I'm actually appearing as a photogram,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50one of my favourite forms of art.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It's a photo made without a camera.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56I put objects onto photographic paper and then expose them to light.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58It makes a negative shadow.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Now would you mind disappearing into the shadows
0:10:01 > 0:10:03so I can have a go at making my own version?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07It's becoming very transparent that I'm not needed here.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08See you later, Man...
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Ray.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15So Man Ray liked to call his photograms "Rayographs",
0:10:15 > 0:10:18but I'm going to have a go at my very own "Rickograph".
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I'm not going to be using photographic paper, though,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23so I'm going full-colour.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Cool, banana's done.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I think I'm going to use this cable next.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Now remember, you can draw around whatever you like.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32That's cool.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I'll move onto the green.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38The reason I'm using a mechanical pencil is cos you can click
0:10:38 > 0:10:41the lead out so it's a long thin piece, and then use it to get
0:10:41 > 0:10:45in all the nooks and crannies on smaller items, like keys.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Once I've drawn all around these objects, I'm going to cut them out
0:10:53 > 0:10:56and make a picture that will cheer up even Man Ray.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I'm going to start by cutting out the banana.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04There you go - nice banana cut out.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07You'll need to cut the rest out, but not me,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09cos I'm a ninja.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10There we are. Good stuff.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Let me grab myself a piece of black card,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16cos it'll give the colours great contrast,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18and they'll really pop out.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Now I'm going to arrange them into a composition that I'm happy with.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Put this pen pointed back into the centre.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Now I'm going to stick them down.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40This is looking good but to finish it off,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I'm going to give it a nice frame.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Awesome! My very own Rickograph.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Remember, when you do your photogram,
0:11:55 > 0:11:59you can use any colour and draw around any object you like.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07KNOCKING AT DOOR

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Oh, phew!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Gav, I'm so happy it's you.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Wow, I'm touched. You've never said THAT before.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Well, I was worried it was the scary man that's after this.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Whoa, Ricky! Let me take a closer look at that.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33It's the perfect fit.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Now take it off, or you and me will both be in big trouble.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40It's stuck. Help me, Ricky.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42THEY GRUNT
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I'm sorry, Gav, there's only one thing for it -
0:12:44 > 0:12:46If we can't get it off your finger,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48we'll have to take you to hospital, have it cut off.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Cut off?! But it's my favourite finger.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Wait there.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Wow. That's the most animated I've ever seen Gavin,
0:12:56 > 0:12:59and he's a pretty lively guy.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01This picture's pretty...
0:13:01 > 0:13:02animated.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09STOMACH GRUMBLES
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Are you all right, dude?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I think it's something I ate.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Let's have a look.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23This guy's got issues...
0:13:23 > 0:13:26not. It's just an animation - a chalky one.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28To make this rad little animation, you'll need...
0:13:28 > 0:13:30A little chalkboard,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33some coloured chalk, a friendly friend,
0:13:33 > 0:13:34and a tablet with animation app.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37There's plenty of these animation apps available online,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39so just find one that you like.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42And you can put it together in just three ninja moves.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Ninja move number one.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Plan out your animation.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I'm going to be using my magic chalkboard
0:13:47 > 0:13:49to look inside of Andre's body.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Now you can use your chalkboard to look inside machines,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54through walls - anything your imagination can muster.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Ninja move number two.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58The next thing you need to do is set up your tablet app
0:13:58 > 0:13:59ready for animation.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01There's not a lot to set up here.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Once you've decided what you're animating,
0:14:03 > 0:14:04you can get on with it.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Every time I take a new frame, I need to wipe off the old one,
0:14:18 > 0:14:19and for that, I'm just using a damp cloth.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Now this is the problem, cos I need a guide to animate to.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25For this, I'm going to be using a tool that you've probably
0:14:25 > 0:14:27heard of before called onion skinning.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Erm...
0:14:28 > 0:14:30what is onion skinning?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Well, onion skinning means you can see the
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- previous frame before you draw your next one.- Ah, OK.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Ninja move number three.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40There's two parts to this animation.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43There's not just the animation on the chalkboard,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45we have an animation model, as well.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Gnarly to the max.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49So I need to animate Andre to react to the stuff that's
0:14:49 > 0:14:50happening on the chalkboard.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I think it's time to take a look at our mini-masterpiece.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Great stuff.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Get yourself a chalkboard, some chalk, a friend and a tablet,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and have a go yourself.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Ninja skills!
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I'd better get some help for Gavin -
0:15:11 > 0:15:13he's going to do himself an injury trying to get that ring off.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15PHONE RINGS
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- ON PHONE:- 'Hi, Ricky, it's your mum.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- 'Just giving you a ring.' - Not you as well.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24'I wanted to say Dad's told me yours and Sarah's special news!
0:15:24 > 0:15:26'Congratulations!
0:15:26 > 0:15:30'I have to get a hat. So much to plan.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34'Your plans are nearly foiled by the ninja apprentices,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37'you have an unwelcome visitor who brings the bling,
0:15:37 > 0:15:42'and it's ICE to see you getting stuck into some super-cool art.'
0:15:42 > 0:15:44How does she know all this?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47'Anyway, I've got to go, and you'd best choose a best man...
0:15:47 > 0:15:49'guess it'll be Gavin!'
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- POP! - Yes!
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- Oh, no.- Can't believe I'm going to be your best man.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Can't wait to tell my mum the good news. Bye, Ricks.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Could this day get any worse?
0:16:01 > 0:16:02- BOTH:- Hi, Ricky!
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Hey, it's Lauren and Mark from the Dengineers.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07How about making something with...?
0:16:07 > 0:16:08A broken broom?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Sorry, guys. Not this time.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I've DEN something with that already.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- BOTH:- Ricky, Ricky, Ricky!
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Hey, what have these guys got?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Ricky, can you make art with tinfoil?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21OK, I choose you.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23THEY CHEER
0:16:23 > 0:16:24What are your names?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- Hi, I'm Naimh. - Hi, I'm Jack.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Nice to meet you, Naimh and Jack. Where are you from?
0:16:29 > 0:16:30- BOTH:- Belfast.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32All right. I'll just go and grab my things.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34OK, here we are.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Got my trusty tinfoil.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38What are you going to make, Ricky?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40I think I'm going to make an owl, and I'll show you how.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Cool.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I'm going to start by covering my piece of cardboard in glue.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Do you guys like owls?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I like the way they can turn their head around.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Hopefully this'll help you make some head-turning art.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Right, now I'm going to take the foil and I'm going to stick it
0:16:54 > 0:16:58over my piece of cardboard, and I'm going to keep the shiny side up.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03There you go.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Put a little bit of glue on the back, just to stick down the edges.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11OK, so I've got my reflective surface now,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14and I'm going to use that to sketch the drawing of my owl onto.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18What I'm doing now is, I'm pressing into the foil
0:17:18 > 0:17:21on the cardboard with a pencil, kind of creating a relief picture.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Just finishing the outline here.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Now I'm going to glue string along the lines to add extra detail -
0:17:26 > 0:17:28make it look really 3-D.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Now I'm going to use a brush here, just because you get a finer line.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39It's a little bit fiddly, but I'm just going along
0:17:39 > 0:17:42and gluing string along the lines that I've drawn with the pencil.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44So what would you call an owl, if you had one?
0:17:44 > 0:17:48I would probably call mine Sir Hoots-a-lot.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Sir Hoots-a-lot? Yeah, that makes sense.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54The tootsies done.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Finally, I'm going to put in Sir Hoots-a-lot's beak.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I'd like to point out that Sir Hoots-a-lot's
0:18:00 > 0:18:02first name is Sandra.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05So I need to cover this picture again in another layer of foil.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Now I can wait for it to dry, or I could use some ninja skills.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- What do you reckon? BOTH:- Use the ninja skills.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Ninja skills it is.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15WHOOSH! Ninja skills!
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Now it's ready for another layer of foil.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20So I'm just going to start pasting on the PVA glue again.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Now I can put over my second layer of foil.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Using my fingers,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I'm just going to push the foil into all of the gaps, and as I'm pushing
0:18:32 > 0:18:35down on the string, the picture's starting to appear through the foil.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38And then to get into the tighter nooks and crannies,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41just going to use a cotton bud.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44The reason I've done two layers is so if I accidentally tear
0:18:44 > 0:18:47this layer of foil, it still looks good underneath.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Right, I've pushed in all the gaps that I can now,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52and I'm going to add a little bit more detail with a pencil.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I think I'm going to give him nice feathers on his belly.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Now I've got two layers of foil on here,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59this pencil's leaving really nice lines.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I'm going to put a little bit of detail on the face now.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06There we are. I think it's ready for a final finishing touch.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I've got some black boot polish here,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11and with a piece of tissue,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I'm going to rub it all into the gaps and the grooves that I've made.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21So the boot polish is accentuating all the detail that I've made.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23In some of the areas where the foil is ripped
0:19:23 > 0:19:26and you can get through to the string, it's really thick
0:19:26 > 0:19:29and black, and it gives it a nice bit of contrast across the picture.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31All right, I think that's it.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32You guys ready to see it?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- BOTH:- Yes.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35What do you think of this?
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- It's amazing, Ricky.- Well done.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40What would you give it out of ten?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- BOTH:- It's a ten!
0:19:43 > 0:19:45OWL accept that score.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I think it's so good, it deserves a frame.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50There we are.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Thanks for your suggestion, guys. You've been brilliant.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- BOTH:- Bye!
0:19:57 > 0:19:58OWL HOOTS
0:20:00 > 0:20:01'Hey, you there.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04'Do you like bling as much as me?'
0:20:04 > 0:20:06It's another scary man about a diamond.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11'Now you can make bling your thing with rock salt jewellery...
0:20:16 > 0:20:19'..and here's how you make it.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23'You'll need a bowl
0:20:23 > 0:20:26'and some rock salt.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30'Pour a heaped teaspoon into the bowl.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32'Now get some paint.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34'Put in a pea-sized amount.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37'Now take some PVA glue.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39'Add some to your mixture -
0:20:39 > 0:20:41'about a teaspoon.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45'Now stir.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53'Now take some clingfilm.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59'Now pour your mixture into the clingfilm.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05'Don't be blue - enjoy it.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11'And use the clingfilm to mould into your desired shape.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16'There. Leave it to dry overnight.'
0:21:20 > 0:21:22COCKEREL CROWS
0:21:22 > 0:21:26'Good morning! It's ready.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28'Unwrap your rock.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30'Mesmerising.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32'It dries lighter overnight.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35'Now grab a ring base...
0:21:36 > 0:21:39'..available in all good craft shops.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43'Get some strong glue
0:21:43 > 0:21:45'and stick your rock on top.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49'That should do it.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52'Stick your rock to your ring base.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56'Sparkly!
0:21:58 > 0:21:59'Check out THAT rock.'
0:21:59 > 0:22:02KNOCKING AT DOOR
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Oh, no - that angry man again.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC
0:22:06 > 0:22:07KNOCKING AT DOOR
0:22:20 > 0:22:23SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES
0:22:29 > 0:22:33The coast is clear. I'm going to get out while the going's good.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Ninja skills!
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I think I'm far enough away.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45That diamond bloke will never find me here,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47but all this skateboarding has made me so thirsty.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Oh, cheers.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- What, no ice? - How about that?
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Hang on, who are you?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I'm Jamie, and I'm an ice sculptor.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Pleased to meet you.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Hey, all this ice gives me an idea for some cool art.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02But first...
0:23:02 > 0:23:03we'd better get our ninja on.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Art Ninja!
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- (Strike a pose.) - Art Ninja?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20OK, so here we are - this is where we make our ice.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Can we make an ice sculpture
0:23:27 > 0:23:29inspired by this diamond ring?
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Yeah, I think so.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Awesome. Well, where do we start?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- Let's go into our studio.- OK, cool.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40CHAINSAW WHIRS
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Wow! That looks pretty serious.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45In all my years of Art Ninja-ing, I've never had to make art
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- with a chainsaw.- Well, this is the best way to cut ice.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Jamie's an expert with a chainsaw, but don't be using one at home.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58While Jamie cuts the ice down to size, I'm going to make a template.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Most people draw themselves a template, but not me,
0:24:01 > 0:24:02because I'm a ninja.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Ice cold ninja skills.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Hey, Jamie, here's my template. So what's next?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13OK, we're going to stick this to this piece of ice
0:24:13 > 0:24:15so that we can cut it out.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20That's good.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22'More sharp tools.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23'This is a band saw and, no,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25'don't be using this either.'
0:24:26 > 0:24:28OK, so now we've got a much thicker piece of ice,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31which we're going to make the diamond out of.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33MACHINE WHIRS
0:24:38 > 0:24:40OK, so we're going to sculpt the diamond.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42All right.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45'With Jamie's help, I'm marking out bits of the ice which
0:24:45 > 0:24:47'need carving to make our diamond.'
0:24:51 > 0:24:53How long would this normally take you?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Oh, I could do that in a couple of minutes probably, Ricky.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Excellent.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Now that looks really good.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04So now what we want to do is make
0:25:04 > 0:25:06it look really polished and glassy,
0:25:06 > 0:25:10so we use this hotplate here which is in hot water,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13and that will just polish out all those little saw marks.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Wow, it just suddenly becomes totally crystal clear, doesn't it?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22It allows the light through it,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25and suddenly the whole thing's transformed.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- It really looks bling now, doesn't it?- It does.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39OK. So now what?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Now we need to make the ring for the diamond.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45OK, so this is the base of our ice sculpture
0:25:45 > 0:25:47and we can position our ring on top of this.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49So we've got to get this in exactly the right spot,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52and then you need to line up
0:25:52 > 0:25:54the other section of the ring.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- OK.- That looks good to me.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- There we are. Just got to plonk our diamond in.- Exactly.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Now that's one sparkly rock.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10I'm pretty wedded to ice sculpture.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Good work, Jamie.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Now I just need to go and give
0:26:15 > 0:26:18that small ring back to that scary diamond bloke.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Now where did I put it?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Oh, no.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Yikes! It's frozen solid.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34PHONE RINGS
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Oh, it's just Gav. Hi, Gav.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- ON PHONE:- 'Hi, Ricky.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40'I'm here with a man that says you have his diamond ring.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42'He wants it back right now.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44'I'm sending him down to you. Bye!'
0:26:44 > 0:26:46HE EXHALES
0:26:46 > 0:26:47The guy's going to lump me.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I think you might need this hairdryer.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52HE GROANS
0:26:52 > 0:26:54This is going to take me ages.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02I gave the scary guy his ring back, by the way,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04and he wasn't what I expected -
0:27:04 > 0:27:05check him out.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07I know!
0:27:07 > 0:27:09He was supposed to deliver it to somebody,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12but posted it through my door by mistake.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Today has taught me a valuable Art Ninja lesson -
0:27:15 > 0:27:18if something feels scary, then do something nice,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21some really cool art that's made out of ice.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24So everything got sorted in the end.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32'Hey, Ricks, congratulations on your great news -
0:27:32 > 0:27:34'we can't wait for the big day!'
0:27:34 > 0:27:38THEY CHEER AND HOOT
0:27:38 > 0:27:40HE SCREAMS
