PAPERMAKING FINAL


first attempt


second attempt


final attempt


me at the crit with my piece (intention was to be hanging in front of window, but it works as a wall hanging)


here is what is looks like in front of the window


Audrey made a dress out of leaves


Beth made jewelry and jewelry boxes


here is a close up


Elliot made lamps shades and he is also a ceramic major so he made the bases as well


here is it in the dark room(we went to the photography dark room to see how the shades would look)


she made a big origami thing- that is the view of the inside (she is red because she is sick)


view of the outside


the process of her opening it


Another girl, Laura, made lamp shades(only the shades) and made the next image also


this was sturdy and if you pull it down a little it would bounce back up and would rotate with the wind


here is one of my group members Kristina with her purses


here is another of my group members Jackie with her Buddha (no religious affiliation to her and she just liked the Buddha which she found at a thrift store) the thing coming out of Buddha is a tree and Buddha is sitting in a lotus flower


Here is Ryan's contraption- suppose to hang and you look up into it (like at the dentist looking at the posters on the ceilings)


how it suppose to look like hanging (Kristina is helping holding it)

It was an interesting class and as you can tell paper can be made into just about anything and not two things will look alike.

Cool stuff!My favorites are yours in front of the window and Elliot's lamps. Makes me want to make stuff too! Maybe I'll hem my pants tonight... I guess that's not really making anything, but it's still crafty in a way.
