Scoot's class is having a Potlatch Party tomorrow, Friday 9/26.
Her class had to make tee-pee's or long houses. Scoot decided to make a tee-pee. Here are pictures throughout the process of making her diorama.
This is the start of the tee-pee.
This is the tee-pee with the glue drying for the base.
Leon did the detail on the fire pit. And we burned some sticks to put into it.
Glueing in chunks of the foam board for coals.
We forgot to take a picture of skinning the tee-pee. But here it is finished, with the firepit almost finished. (We used pebbles from the yard for the pit rocks. We used a cottonball for the smoke effect.) And added the people for a little extra.
We were looking for toy Indians to use in this diorama. I was unable to find any that would work with it. t gave us the idea to just grab pix from the internet. So that is how the people were made. We cut them out, pasted them to sticks, and put them on the bases.
Thanks t.
Final shots of the finished project. We used grass flocking mixed with model train rock, glued with Elmers to all the foam board. The tee-pee and the firepit are the only things glued down. The people and the moose are moveable.
These are just different angles of the same setting.

I like the use of rocks from the yard, burning stuff for the fire, that kind of stuffs is fun!
Leon is sitting right here, and he just said, "We said so, so that's the way it is."
But I say............ I hadn't even thought of looking on the internet or in a magazine, until you mentioned it. Thanks.
