Rural Community by James

First is a lunch sack I made from a pattern I saw online somewhere (I think I started at Meet Me at Mikes and went from there - who knows?).

Then there's James working on his model of a rural community.

I helped him make buildings. Then he laid them out and traced them, painted the box. Here you can see him rolling out black clay to make roads. It was so great. When he was done the clay looked just like the patchy tarmac you see in small towns.





































You can see the road layout, and then - TaDA! buildings and bushes and trees and crops!













This is my favorite view: the Feed Store nestled next to the Wal-Mart


The next day Peter wanted to make a model of his own.
More on that next time.
