Modular Madness

I started out with cigarette boxes and decided to switch to snuff cans because I had access to a lot more of those than cigarette boxes.

I ended up making something that resembles a "redneck windchime". Which I am totally fine with, I've already had several offers from people wanting to purchase it as a windchime.

I had 120 cans of snuff and a few different ideas.

I took some pictures of it set up at the WASH building but not on my camera or phone.  So I'm waiting on those to be sent to me.

I cleaned each can and drilled parallel holes on each one.  All of the Copenhagen ones went straight to the center line and I strung them with thick fishing line.  The thin fishing line broke straight off.  I took some really greasy thick wire and wired the other cans by fours in half circles and bent the ends around the fishing line to hold.  I put a wire in the end of each piece and wired it to a thick stick and hung it from the outside roof at the WASH building.

Cardboard Project

The project starts:

These will be the pinecone spikes.

This is the base

 This is another shot of the base

 This was my first idea for the pine spikes

 The subject.

I covered the base in this stripped cardboard to give it texture.

 The inside of the base

 The first attempt for the base

 Too tall.

Finished project

Better idea for the spikes. I ended up cutting slits in the stripped cardboard to fit the ends inside to make spikes.
