Day 9

(We went to Loch Lomond for the day on day 8 in case you're wondering!!)



Today we started work on our 3D totem poles, we are building them using cardboard boxes that Ali has been hoarding forever!

We used wet tissue and all sorts of bits and pieces from the collage box to make raised outline shapes, then we used plaster of paris bandages over the top of them. It was a bit chaotic, nearly 30 people, plus plaster, plus bowls of water could have been a real disaster but we did really well and made it though the session without any mishaps!
We've still got some work to do with the plaster tomorrow, then we'll leave our work to dry out till next week ready for painting! Already we can't wait to see how they're going to look!




This owls beak fell a bit flat first time round so we added another layer of cardboard to make it really stand out!
