3D: Wire, Paper, Felt and Fabric

We get the opportunity to try out different mediums in 3D class and make small works based on them. The emphasis so far has been on handmaking, the act of making, rather than any idea or concept.

Teacher says we're going to be doing more abstract stuff for now on, though.

Kayaker

Wire figure with moving arms and paddle

Inspired by Alexander Calder's circus figurines.

Paper seedling pots

Newspaper

Made with modified origami pattern.

Scalemate

Needle felted sheep's wool, dyed with lemon and cherry Kool-aid

(An object from the webcomic Homestuck -- I just wanted to make it.)

Creature

Sewed from felt, stuffed with polysterene and given button eyes.

The little scarf is a scrap of cloth I hand-dyed when the Textiles department had an indigo-dying event.
