Time to make: 3 hours
Finishing: 1 hour
Original design: Bill Macfarlane
When I designed this slide, I had not seen patch for Apache Springs and thought there really needs be slide for this camp. While there are many things special about this camp, I was really looking forward seeing the Tee-pee and to be deep in thought while being in the Sweat Lodge. So on with my concept slide...
Carved from reclaimed pallet wood, I carved the base for the Tee-pee and Sweat Lodge then need a material to represent the hides used traditionally. To do this I used torn pieces of tissue paper and white glue to give it some texture. I painted the background with hobby paint, used waterslide paper for the lettering, and sealed the slide with a couple coats of poly. Oh, just a side note, a while after I finished this slide, Philmont released a Apache Springs patch which is yet to come on my blog.
