This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the
PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in
Community.
In this Badge Bit, you will make a piece of art that will be displayed publicly (accessible from off of your property, and for the benefit of those off of your property). It should be made with natural or re-purposed materials. Paint is allowed but discouraged. Time spent painting won't be counted towards the hours so a mural may count for 0 points. This project will be scored based on standard
Oddball points of professional work time. It can be one giant project, or a series of smaller ones.
Here are some ideas:
It could be a large sculpture made from living material (like a willow fence) or very natural looking like the art in
this thread:
They could be welded, like these (from
this thread):
It could be painted with natural paints and protected under a shelter, or made with woodburning. It could also be small, like a little fairy house, which could be made with sticks and moss.
Or even cob, like they did at
Copper Moonie Advanced Retreat Center:
Or even made with natural fiber, with some yarn bombing or knit graffitti
