Design

I forgot to show you the design for my final piece, its just a quick drawing, not my actual finished drawing. a quick sketch to show my ideas.

Finito

FINALLY I have finished attaching all of the paper ruffles

LOOK.

its over 6 FT TALL.

Hard at work

Little image showing me hard at work attaching all the ruffles!!

update on the ruffles- I'm half way

Here is the update on the progress on the paper ruffles. This is what i have achieved in one day!

FINALLY HALF WAY! wooo

paper ruffles

Nows the time for the paper ruffles!
 one by one i have started folding the a4 paper like origami and individually attaching it onto my structure with a glue gun.

THIS TOOK ME JUST OVER 2 HOURs.

now it has hit me how much i have got to do.

uh oh.

Lining Paper

To be able to attach the paper ruffles onto this wire structure i had to somehow cover the entire piece in some form of paper so that it has a base.
Due to the scale of the structure it thought lining paper would be the easiest! I used over 15m worth of this as i wrapped it around the structure.

Wire Structure Update

I thought i had finished the wire structure but it seems it is not that strong and stable. I have had to add more diagonal strips of wire so that it will add more stability to the structure.
Using the spot welder scares the hell out of me. Especially when it sparks.!!
