I enjoy that we start off the mornings weaving because I did not like starting the mornings doing grammar like in term 1. Another reason I like weaving is because we got to go to another persons yard to pick the ivy like a small field trip. A thing I do not like is that after a couple of days the ivy gets crumpled and breaks easy. And also I hate that some people take your ivy and then you need to tie it with willow and it does not tie as good. The final thing I hate about weaving is that we do not get enough time at weaving.

Some similarities of sam2 and our weaving project are: They reused things that no one needed and made it into a instruments. In our weaving project we used invasive plants that people did not want because it spreads out to much and does not let other plants grow, and we made it into art. We saved money by not buying art material for example glue, scissors, and paper, they saved money by reusing stuff from the military and the dumpster. The final thing I could think of is that they are both good for the environment because they reuse things to make music and we use invasive plants for art.
There are lots of things about weaving like I did some weird stuff. I made something like rings. I like weaving because its fun.
In both SAM2 and our weaving projects we both demonstrate that you can take something that no one wants and nobody has a use for and you can turn it into something people can enjoy. We also demonstrate that you don’t have to use conventional materials to make something both functional and beautiful. we also demonstrate that you don’t have to go out and buy expensive materials, you can just use what ever you find in your backyard.
