Hi and welcome back
This blog post is about the paper mache that I been working on with my table. The people that I am working with are three girls and their names are Kelsey B, Danai K, and Yamileth. Everyone in my group pretty much done every step of this project at least once. We started this project by researching pictures and types of butterflies and bringing the the photos to school. In the end, we decided on two of my pictures. Next, we had to cut out the basic shape of our butterflies from cardboard and Danai and I did that on the first day because the other girls weren't there for the first day. The second day, Kelsey, Yamileth, and I cut out the next butterfly. The next step is to begin covering the cardboard, which we did with aluminum foil on every piece of our butterflies before coating with flour and water dripped in paper. That took the longest time because we made one of our wings of our butterfly way too big, which led to the biggest difficulties from this project. The general size of our butterfly was way too big making our wings take twice as long as everyone else. If I could redo the project again, I would have made the wings at least twice as small. However, it's okay because we only had to make one butterfly. Right now, we are in the progress of finishing up the coating of one wing, letting the body, and sandpapering the other wing as well as painting it. The next thing that we need to do is glue the body to the wings and paint everything. The successes that we had with the project is generally the overall appearance of our butterfly because the wings have a very realistic appearance of a butterfly wing. We have a slight indent on the side of the wings that I think looks very realistic to the real wings. Thank you for reading and hoped you enjoyed
