Today is the studio we bought our favorite physical objects, which pretty much means nothing electronic. So I brought in my favorite cup. There is nothing really special about the design of the cup its self but as it was one of the last gifts my grandfather gave to me before he passed away it holds great value to me personally. Also while in studio today I talked to my tutor about the design of my object (really need to give this a name, calling it an object is annoying me). I decided to change the design from that of a loop of paper to a string of paper (see the picture below). This is because the loop was quite hard to make and I felt that the string was a better shape for fidgeting with. Also with the string of paper I can use bookbinding tools to make the object.
After some tries at tying the paper together I found that the string I was using was not strong enough to bind the paper tightly. This meant that the paper kept moving to much and did not give a satisfactory flick to it. I will go and get some different string this week before the next studio and talk to my tutor about this.
