Next we washed each flower in a special acid wash just for aluminum. Then we wiped down each flower with acetone to remove any oil residue from handling the flowers. It's true what they say . . . preparation is 90% of the job!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">The next step for the flowers was priming.

For the whimseys (A very technical term! These are all the little curlycues on the flowers), we used a special setup. We welded three pipes onto our metal table. Notice how the pipes are spaced differently? This is so we can make bigger and smaller curves.<br />

We needed to know how much urethane was needed to fill the mold. To do this, we gathered the clay from all the bees and placed it in a mixing bucket. We then filled the bucket with water, making note of how much water we used. We removed the clay and subtracted what was left from our original amount. That measure was the total liquid we needed. Dividing that in half gave us the amount for parts A and B for the plastic mixture.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

We made a bee for each student at Garden City Early Learning Academy (GCELA). </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">First we started with a ball of plasticine clay.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">We then sculpted the bees "in relief".

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Here is Becka creating one of the bees.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />
