Bambo Decor

So I have trying to finish this project pretty much sense september but I have finally gotten the motivation to go out by the stones I needed. It happened to be my lucky day because I found some neat ones at the dollar store along with a rather plain but pretty vase.

The bambo is actually from Africa's mount Oku. I brought it down the mountain (small... very very small) with me on our day trip while I in Cameroon. This bambo was the same bambo that I was holding when I had near death experience #2.


This near death experience occured due to slippery mud and a machete. We and most of the team was walking down the mountain and one of our friends from our oku class joined us. He was walking behind me with a machete in his hand and I think a long piece of bambo then the two hear combined. So I started falling and then I think he started falling and when we had bothed finished falling. My head was between his leads and the machete over my head.






To make this is was rather easy.
1. Go to Africa, climb a mountain get bambo
2. Get a friend to cut it half and smooth some edges
3. fit it in the suitcase
4. buy vase and stones
5. put bambo in vase.
6. Layer stones
7. Find a cool spot to do it!

Enjoy! :D
