Duck and house floor

The focus today was carrying on with the development of the narrative for the gingerbread house section and the river with the duck. We wanted there to be a suggestion of a duck rather than a complete physical duck. So we started to develop it as a head and wings that were quite large to allow us to change the size depending on whether we have the children on the duck or just Hansel and Gretel. The wings were created form the same fabric as the trees we have, this was because of colour and the way that it moved when we attached it to the wire, it is a bit heavy however so we might have to have two people holding the wings and one person on the head.
Paper feathers were added along the material to create more of a wing effect and it creates a really nice sound when moved. The head needs layers of paper to make it stronger (paper mache).

The floor of the first house was also developed, similar material to the forest paths was added to the floor t make it look more incorporated into the forest.
