Word Image Final Finale

The final product of struggling and the opposite of straight. I think they came out pretty good.  The boards were where I had the biggest problem they didn't seem to want to cut without tearing.  Several new curse words were invented with just them in mind, but despite all that like I wrote before they came out pretty good.

Madness

Paperclips were used for my madness project because I knew I had plenty of them and the most important factor is that they were free.  I was going use a simple net design but soon after hanging it I began to experiment with the different things the paper clip could do when used with a hot glue gun.

Let's see where it takes me from there.

Word Image

My first word image.

It originally started out as the opposite of happy however once it was put together it looked more like a struggling piece.  So here is the Struggle.  The paragraphs in background are going in the opposite direction making the struggle upwards more noticeable.

Cardboard Shell

The complete version of my cardboard shell.  I really like how my ridges came out they remind greatly of the imperfections and natural look of a seashell.  I should have added a piece of the paper cardboard stuff to loop over the hole thing to cover the hump then put the ridges on that, but alas I did not have any do so as this was my 3rd or 4th attempt. (4th attempt, went back to the 3rd design :).

CB progress report

After many attempts at finding the perfect way... yeah this way worked best.  Sort of a layering swirl in a way with a cool ruffle effect to give me the essence of the shell.  Gotta figure out how to keep it curved up to make the shell over curve.
