The document discusses making dowels for a toy pig. The author spent the day painting 20 dowels baby pink to match the pig's face and back. They had to carefully paint around the edges so the glue would adhere them properly. Their next steps are to sand and paint small wood balls, then do needlework to make the pig's nose out of pink and skin colored felt. They will attach plastic eyes and draw ears to complete the toy. The author sees themselves as a risk taker for this project since their rolling toy design is different than the wheels or rocking toys others are making.

1. ~Making dowels &Make baby pink color &Painting dowel~ Thursday
05/05/11
Today I didmaking dowels. It takes long time,
because there are 20 dowels. But I finished
painting dowels for this one period. Before paint
dowels, I need to make baby pink color that
same as pig’s face and back color. Emotion- it
was hard to make same color as pig’s face and
back color. Also yesterday Mr. Anderson said I
don’t paint edge of dowel. Because I am going to
use glue to stick together, but if there is paint
and use glue. It doesn’t work. So today I cared
about this, and I paint dowels.it looks good.
You can see the last picture of dowels.
Next
I need many
small wood ball. So I bought many ball. I
will sand that ball and paint it. If I finish
thatwill do needlework for making pig’s
nose. i need to bring my sewing kit. I
already have pink and skin
color felt. For pig’s nose, I don’t need to worry. We have 2 periods of dt next
class. So if I finished making pig’s nose, then I will get plastic eyes by mr.
Anderson and stick on to the pig’s face (also
Pig’s nose)! and then I need black marker to
draw pig’s ears.
