Your cutlery has been assimilated....

I was so enthused by my bread making activities from the night before, that I sneaked in another one before going down to college. I really like the size and shape of the rolls. They don't have quite so much hardware, which allowed me to incorporate some drawing. On the large loaf I didn't feel there was any need to draw on the surface, as there was so much already happening..





A second thread in this project stems from my very first idea that I threw around. Instead of making little creature like robots made out of cuttlery I have settled on making an abstract sculpture but with a twist of technology in the surface.

Whenever I usually use superglue I end up with no feeling in my fingertips but this time.......I used latex gloves! What a genius I am haha.

As I have been making these strange things it has felt as if I have been truly expressing my personality through making. I am definately a bit random and odd at times but I really do make a lot of sense when you get to know me. Kind of like my little sculptures. In much of my flat design work I feel this is lacking at the moment but I'm working on it.



In future I would definetely like to work more with making 3D objects, however I'm not really into the technicalities of weave and knit. I prefer to make things up as I go along and find my own way of doing things. If anyone has some suggestions I would be happy to hear them?

As a printer, it has been suggested that I could use these 3D objects as part of my development and drawing. From this point in my research I can see a few different ways I could take this into a flat design. However if I had sat with my sketchbook and thought about how to take this concept into print,  firstly I would not have enjoyed it as much and secondly I don't think I would have produced something as interesting . I do enjoy drawing but I don't really  like sketchbooks! I predict more frequent trips to the recycling centre in the future and less expensive sketchbooks.

I was embracing randomness so my soundtrack to the day was Frank Zappa
