I´m working on some teepees that I´m building according to the real process, only smaller and with other materials ;-)
First I made a template of the appropiated size (well, two of them, since I saw several types of teepees and I couldn´t decide which one I wanted).
Then I built the structure with poles, starting with four of them (like the Crows did, as opposed to the three-poled system of the Cheyenne).
Left: Poles for the second teepee Finally, the paper template took a bath in glue to moisten it so I can put it in place... |
Et voilá!
Then I "sculpted" some details with glue,
I have begun to paint it but haven´t had the time to finish it yet...
Cheers!
