Last week, we started the extra fun (and time consuming) stuff--the crafts! This is really important, because we can't actually assemble the driving crickets or the sound resistance bobbers without having the cart built or the floating house made. So on Tuesday we went to a craft store (love field trips), and bought:
-acryclic paint
-cheap paintbrushes
-six thin, light, and sturdy wood bars
-thick construction paper
and
-a HUGE tub of clay
On Friday, CJ was sick (unhappy emoticon goes here), so I started working on the floating house. (The cart we think we'll make with the laser cutter, so I'd rather wait until she's with me to start designing that.) Two and half hours later, after lots of rulers, flying wooden bits, crazy glue, and bad youtube music, I built this much of the house! Note the aluminum inside, the hanging and swinging ball of aluminum, and beautiful craftsmanship.
