Cranes for Japan


What I saw from the pictures was shocking. In the pictures from before the tsunami, Japan was very green. There were blue skies as well. Now after this tragedy, everything is dark.
Three wishes for the people in Japan:
1. everything to return to the way it used to be
2. happiness
3. for all the people of Japan to return there

Getting back to materials

I chose to use the red ribbon because I thought it would be very simple to use it to make my face. I thought that it was flexible, and all the other materials seemed too difficult. First, I made the outline of the head. This was the most difficult because the ribbon would not align with where I put the glue. Then I did the eyes, which were pretty difficult as well. I figured out that the easiest way to make a curve with the ribbon was to fold it. Then I did the mouth. After that, I did the hair, which was the easiest part. It was easy because I just cut a bunch of ribbon and put it over the glue. I feel that my finished product could have been better if I had more time, and if I used different material. If I had more time, I could have made the face look like my own, and added more details. I think if I used different materials, my work would have come out better.
