Today Alex and I tried to add the leaves to our butter fly which he finished printing in the last class. We tried to do this by putting in the leaves and hot gluing them down. This was a big failure because the hot glue didn’t dry clearly. We then tried to sand it down which made it worse. We ended the class where we started, but learned what not to do.
Today, I glued all the leaves on, then attached the sirvo to a paper clip and the wing of the butterfly.
Today, I attached the butterfly to a straw, and put it on a cardboard platform. The I used a glue that dries into plastic to attach a popsicle stick to the wing that doesn’t move. It is not yet stable but I will do that in the next class.
Today, I covered the platform in grass and added support so that it doesn’t collapse. It is now free standing and all we have to do is add the flower. *ADD PICTURE*
