P.B.L- Makayla- Pet Enclosure

Makayla

My Creature is An Arctic fox

Some things I needed to consider about my creature: They like to sleep in a cozy hole, I need to make them catch their food and holes to hide in. I also need to make sure I that my enclosure is Arctic theme, and water for them to drink.

My enclosure has these special features for my pet: A little cozy bed/hole a tramp for getting their pouncing levels up, a swing, and some holes in the ground to hide in from predators. I also made a  ½ a seesaw to get them to practise catching their food in their own mouth.

What I am pleased about: About how my tree turned out and how I added the pastel to make a cool effect on it too. Also how I got the tule from home and made it look like big chunks of snow here and there.

What I have found tricky: Attaching the tule to the base of the trampoline with sellotape.  Also attaching the tree branch to my tree. As well as when I was painting trying not to get paint on the tule.

What I would like to improve:  Stabilizing my tree branch that snapped I while I was explaining what I made. I would also like to improve on adding a bit more detail and stick to one place at a time.
