Making a Horse

We had the great opportunity to make horses!!  Giovanna showed us how to make a horse with grass.  Now is probably a good time to say: ‘it’s harder than it looks.’  The strength and precision needed to make the horse is astounding!!  We made a pretty big horse, compared to other ones.  The ones we made were probably about seven inches.  Some of them were only two inches long.  We used the grass and then used string to tie down specific spots.  The grass was wet before hand to make it more bendable.  Giovanna then came over and cut off the excess to make it look like a horse and then fire was used to melt the ends of the string so it would not loosen and cause a grassy shower in the middle of nowhere. 

After all the steps were complete, my horse looked more like a llama or even a giraffe, but definitely not a horse.  The neck was extremely long, but I had a lot of fun making it.
