2. I had to cut out 4 bottles. I took three bottoms of bottles and tied them to the side of the fourth. I used the plastic wrapper of the outside of the bottles I cut to tie them. I cut a hole in the bottom of the main bottle and then on the cap cut a hole and placed a cone shaped thing in it and hot glued it. I then painted it black to make it look better. I then found a stick, made one end a little pointed so it could fit good in the cone holder and slid the stick in.
3.I used 4 plastic sobe bottles, its plastic skin, black paint, a stick, and my hot glue to make it.
4. I wanted to develop the skill to think of the things around you that could easily do in place of something else. To increase my creativeness and to think more in debt on the things I did.
5. I enjoyed the whole of it, but i particularly enjoyed how i made it so the stick would turn and not move around with the usage of the cone and the carved stick. I also enjoyed how I thought of using the plastic wrap that was around the bottle in place of twine. I found it difficult to tie the bottle bottoms to the main bottle because, when the wind hit them they would twist, so i had to make to holes and put the plastic tie through that to fix the problem.
6. I thought I did plastic tie very well, taking it off the bottle with it being just a certain width was challenging but I did it well and then threading it through the bottle bottoms was another that i did well. I also thought i did the lid with a cone in it well at the same time. So i did feel I did do good on some things.
Critique: I think all around the project was good, but the thing that I think I could of done better was make it so when it turned, it would turn and not wobble. As it is now it wobbles because of how the bottom was cut out. I though that that black pain added texture and made it so it blended in more in the environment. I did try to push myself, I tried to think of new ways of doing things. As in how I tied the bottoms on, I used plastic skin instead of taking the easy way out and using twine or thin rope. When I made the project I deliberately made the bottoms a little deep so it would be able to catch the wind better and be better all around. I did follow through with what I said i would, as in what I wanted to learn, but I did not on how I started wanting to make a boat. It evolved from a boat to a windmill. Making this has made me want to maybe think more of how if want to make something I can just look around me and see all the possibilities of things I could use to make something.
