Our 3D Project: My Weird Orange Thingamajig
Since I had to spend most of yesterday's class outside, collecting my materials and spray painting that awful, toxic primer, I wanted to share the final result. Here's how it played out:
1. Discovery of tree branch
2. Finding two metal table legs at Urban Ore
3. Discovery of second tree branch
4. Buying metal plates and screws and a round wood base to screw them into
5. Buying white primer, priming everything, trying not to breath it in, waiting for it to dry
6. Repainting orange at home (the color of fire and exhuberance!)
7. Taking Amy's excellent advice and painting one branch (the most magical branch!)
8. Assembling into a) modern coat rack or b) weird sculpture or c) indoor tree d) all of the above, i.e., "My Weird Orange Thingamajig"
9. Viola!

Resistance is Contagious!
This table just premiered at the 2011 Stockholm Furniture Fair. It was designed by a group of Swedish students, Karl-Johan Hjerling, Karin Widmark, Susanne von Ajkay, and Therese Broberg. They named it "Spring Project," and write in their description: "This is a table that shows that however we are forced down, held down, we carry on, and resistance is contagious. Short stories will be written, novels and pamphlets. In the shade of the laminates, which roll themselves up and become a tree once again, bills will be paid with a smile. Good for Sweden, too!"

Beginners
Follow-up to last night's class, here are few bits and bobs from the filmmaker and designer Mike Mills:

"I think we all need to break a little and for it to be okay... Instead of thinking of ourselves as these people... who are supposed to be all together, why don't we think of humans as broken, as messed up, and try to enjoy how great that is."
