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.

Oh what fun! I remember doing those

WE NEED MORE PICS!

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.

It wasn't an original idea by me. It was something done in my school but not with pics from the internet. Just pics found in magazines.

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.

It was really fun to work on this with the kiddo. I look forward to making more in the near future.

Very cool! Brings back memories.


GREAT JOB SCOOT!

Beautiful! Congratulations to the three of you. Makes me wanna be in school again.

Can't see the pics, but it's really cool to read about.

Congrats Scoots!

That's why we tried to describe it in really good detail. So you could....."SEE" it.

I'm down with that HB. You ARE the man.

That DOES bring back memories.

And then when you bring them home, you get to BURN 'EM!

You all left out the dead Barbies roasting over the fire pit!
