Done with BDS

I had a very hard time actually putting the lamp together and getting it to all fit. I had to do some problem solving and it also worked out in my favor. I wanted my lamp to be a perfect circle but it kept on getting warped. However when I had critique everyone said they liked it better like that than in a circle. In the end I wrapped wire around the lamp cord and I got it to work. I am happy to say that I am done with the last BDS project of the semester.

New Idea

Even though my spiral idea did not work I did figure out that they connect very well. This gave me the idea to cut squares and connect them that way. This idea worked out and I am very happy with it!

Fail

My spiral ideal did not work so I am going to have to come up with a new idea.

3 models

The idea that I am going to try and make is a spiral that hangs down over the light and is intertwined with other spirals. I am worried to see if this works ill just have to see and make it.

Bristol Board

The Bristol board is harder to work with than regular paper. It is less flexible but more sturdy so this made it different than paper. I did figure out things that I could do differently than paper that is very interesting. Because it is thicker you can rip away layers. Ripping it also makes a cool effect. I do not know really what I am going to make but I am not supposed to yet.

Lamp Inspiration

Over thanksgiving break I looked at different lamps for inspiration

Project 4

We are now starting on project four which is to make a lamp made out of paper. We are supposed to found out and use ways to let the light through. We made 25 or more models that demonstrate that.
