This is the end result of my endeavors. No one had much to say about it. I realize that I needed more effort to make the frame concrete, and extremely solid in comparison to the sticks that were made by twisting the wire and and adding abica. I tried to use cotton to replicate the faux paper of the object and to have stark contrast with the abica on the sticks.
I think it is alright, and I am happy with it barring my slipshod solutions to use the inner part of the frame to hold the cotton in. It was late when I got to it, and I was getting tired of mucking around with the cotton that would not stick. It's no excuse, but man, cotton is the pits to work with.
Ugh. I often feel like I'm not as skilled as others in class, at least when it come to structure and craftsmanship. I think the things I have made do have a lot of style and attitude. They have a sort of exaggerated and melty quality, sort of like Claus Oldenburg. I would like to get better at the details everyone else in the class is so great at, but maybe I should not ignore the base appeal of that, even if it's not everyone's cup of tea.
