Making Peach Blossom Land

A
Cardboard, masking tape and shoe polish were used to make wood.

B
This is the boat pattern.

C
Oil based clay was used to make food. Here a student is making Mandarin oranges.

D
Wooden people were painted flesh colored. When the paint was dry a permanent marker was used to draw on hair and faces.

E

F
Tree trunks were made using trunk tape, rubber cement, and paper towel tubes.

G
Peach blossoms were made from paper dyed. Colored water was dripped onto watercolor paper with a dropper.

H
Flowers were punched out with a die cutter. Smaller petals were punched out with a mini-hole punch.

I
Trunks were attached to blossom clouds.

J
The blossom clouds were painted with dots to add depth.

K
Red beads were glued to the center of the punched blossoms.

L
Wooden blocks were glued together to make houses.

M

To inform the production research of clothing, houses, boats, flowers, and food was done on the Internet.
The only purchase made for the production was the flower die cutter. All other materials were laying around waiting to be used. Nearly all of the materials were donated.
