bit by bit

the chromage is becoming acceptable. what to do about those leds? they look so dull. emit some light, already! grrr. i will also need to show the connection to this guy. let's not look static!

does this look familiar? maybe you remember some old friend of ours from wayy back! that's right, the wire toy. wasn't he cute? and maybe you remember the lamp project i was working on, too? that's right. the two of them are back! they want to become -how to say- more real, more concrete, more... good looking:) hopefully!

hm, i think i'm coming slowly back, as well:D

it is 11:55 pm and i am literally melting. that is how hot and humid it is. in the middle of the night!!! scary.

edit: i revised the model a bit and changed the image- there were some problems with it. sorry!

hand crafted

this is my very professional:) looking mock-up of my design project (look at those proportions!) it took me several hours just to do this, and my hands hurt a little. real objects are tough;P we know by now that my project is a lamp, thanks to a kind comment:D... inspired by this ancient toy, i hope this solution works for what i try to achieve. i will try to wrap some cloth around it, and see if it still works... if it does, i will model it once more in 3d.

i know it is still an early stage, but i would like to document every step of the process. i think this is the first time i do this for my own project. do you document your working process, too?

ingredients: steel wire ca. 0.5 mm dia., nippers, chisel, wrench, soft jewelry wire ca. 1 mm dia., ruler (bring it to the table but don't use it for a more random look:), clamp (not shown).

do you remember this toy? i used to like it a lot. it has some magical powers to it. (well, sort of). it would be nice if i could refer to it with its name, but i have no idea and i'm too lazy to google it. i'll take the easy way out and call it 'wire toy' (that was creative:D). i enjoy the physics that allow it to change from form to form (huh?). for from form fo.

this little lady is going to help me solve some mechanical problems. i wish it could solve many problems, like financing my world trip, but that would be too much to ask from a little 'wire toy', right? or would it? hmmmm.

anyone ever played with this lady?
