Day 28 Tensegrity

 What to do on the next to last day. 

Quick try something different.   Drive your frustration level through the ceiling.  I had to take a different thing to make this bounce straw ball so I could have straws.  But the straws were thin walled and would not take the pressure.  Quick out to the grocery store and get straws.   But wait they are shooting a movie in the paper aisle.  OOK!  On the way out on the ice cream end cap are bendy straws.  Back home the project looks so fast when Bre does on video.  But he does not tell you how to breathe doing this.  The tension is delicate you could bend a support and need to cut another straw and restretch a rubber band around the new straw.  It can drive you crazy. But hey why drive when you can walk.

So here is day 28.  The bouncy tensegrity straw ball thing.

  • every place i inhabit ends up looking approximately like that. ‘messy, not dirty’ is my claim that often falls on deaf ears…

  • my dining room table looks a bit like that.

  • wow, such a complicated tension module!
    and that’s normal creative atmosphere (what are you looking for a reference — hospital surgery room?)
