Making a frog pond model!

We had a great day on Saturday, making a model frog pond! As with all research and learning of new skills, it took us a fair few hours - 6 would you believe - to work through all the techniques and materials in order to make a model of a pond which would suit Ben's mum's back yard. We had the specifications, and the lay of the land, we just needed to represent what we had been researching and imagining.

And here is the result!

In keeping with our sustainability concept, all the materials used for this model came from secondhand shops, our collective hoard of art supplies that were waiting for a good use, and what we could find around Vanessa's yard. We are really happy with results.
