one piece of flower

 

feedbacks:

first sewing objects:

toy bone for dog

 

for this project, i abandoned the key chain for some reasons: i only have one key.. and the battery pack for the led i bought is too big for carrying around. I later got inspired from a project i did:

it was a inductive vase and so you can throw a piece of flower into it and light up the flower (light bulb on the top and inductive battery at the bottom).

CONTROL, BY YOUR PIECE OF MIND.

I designed that project a long while ago. it was just a concept and i felt really exciting to make this really,

although,,,

the look quite different:

(completed product)

however i felt good just because i made it physical, especially in a class called making studio..

 

here are images showing my progress:

 

started with finding the right saw to saw the metal tube

a little accident totally changed my design:

i found out the tubes have great capability of carrying electricity so i decided to make the tubes not only the structure but also a part of the circuit.

rough model

i tried to solder the wire onto the tube.

about 27 minutes later, i found out it is impossible.

 

for some reason, the wire and the tube can not be sticked together, so i had to figure another way to do this.

 

but i figured out it really soon:

i cut the tube with a crack and stuck the head of the wire in.

then i started on the flower head

i used the same material i used from last week bcuz i really like the translucenticity  of it, the light from the led is dimmed and soften.

model with more progress

another exploration on the flower head.

make supports under the platform so i can put the battery pack down there.

the stuffing actually expends the light which makes it powerful

that’s it. leave a comment if you’d like!
