Trees

This lesson we created the trees that are going to house the people and the other miniature trees that are going to be spread around the place to add a more natural feel to the resort and make it seem less empty. The trees were made out of corrugated cardboard and were simply hot glued together.
We also created what will be the canopies of the trees, they were made out of cotton balls dipped in blue paint.

Waterfall

The creation of the water fall took four lessons to complete.
On the first lesson, we routered out the lake/pool.
On the second lesson, we glued and nailed boards to the corner of the base and stapled chicken wire over the "cliff" and filled it up with news paper.
The third lesson was spent plastering the cliff with plaster of paris. It was quite fun to do, but a bit frustrating as one of the mixtures that we made was too watery and was drooping everywhere.
On the forth lesson, we started off by testing out how we could get the "waterfall effect" and ended up pouring blue paint on the cliff before covering it in hot glue and allowing it to drip into the lake. We then mixed PVA glue and the blue paint before pouring it in the pool and over the top of the original "waterfall" so that it would look like the water was actually coming from somewhere instead of magically appearing out of the middle of a rock.

Overall the waterfall ended up working out quite well, and we are quite pleased about the end result.
