Soap Dish pt. 3 Suck It Up/Drop It
First I made this soap dish in stoneware clay, but with wet hands in a bathroom, it broke during one day of cleaning. Then I 3D-modeled and 3D-printed it in instead. 🙂 I use a plastic called PLA plastic. It is bio-based, made from various vegetable starches, which means it is bio-degradable. Not compostable, but […]
Nothing but Yourself
Last year I made this stool during lunch breaks and after school hours when my energy allowed. I wanted to make an object that could hold itself together without anything else but its own parts, no nails or glue. What was important to me as well was that the object at first did not seem […]
Plant Pot Coaster pt.1
After I had done these two I realized 1. I did not want to combine a bio-based material with a plastic (glue and cover). 2. There must be a way to make the cork completely water-resistant that is bio-based too. Let’s make a second attempt. 🙂
Mr Potato
To make Mr Potato was part of the sculpture introduction course at school. I enjoyed it so much. The slowness of it, the materials deciding the phase and to make an object that would appear real and living but in fact is made out of a ‘dead’ (not changing) material. To go through this process […]
Just Sip No Drip #4
These are the last iteration I have made on this project and problem solving attempt. The goal is to make a coffee cup that avoid drops from traveling down its sides and to have a grip that prevents you from burning yourself, and to make a milk jar that does not allow drops of milk […]
When in Panic Do What You Can
A few years ago I went through a rough phase. Nothing was stable or safe. This made me put on a tunnel vision, focus on the details in whatever I Did, made, be completely absorbed and shut everything else out, because what was happening around me at the time was too much to handle. I […]
Just Sip No Drip #3
This project is about making the coffee moment free from messy table tops with coffee and milk circle marks as well as making drinking coffee as enjoyable as can be. This version of the project made me realize that the problem with drops going down the side of the cups are different from drops going […]
Stable Base to Grow Tall
I made this flower pot with a friend in mind. I wanted to make something that resonated with her and her life view, and so I came up with this expression. She wants to be as grounded as possible before she takes the next step, to make sure she knows what she is doing before […]
