Impossible circle

This piece utilizes a twist that doesn't really work although it was the first piece I riveted and the rivets looked good so I decided to continue with them.



This is the next sample with the rivets, this one doesn't twist up it is just a simple flat piece which made it look much nicer and  is easier to put together.

These 2 drawings (this one and below) are of a full circle riveted together, after mulling over this for a while I have decided that it will be very difficult and time consuming to put this together if I where to make it and time isn't something I have.

In the end I have decided that I will construct it like this, with either an equal or odd number of pieces riveted together.

Even more frosty goodness.

Here is a continuation of images from the freezing frog, these taken the day after, the ice had built up even more into much more interesting and intricate structures.

First comleted item

This is the first completed object of the Confirmation of Practice project, my mother has already commandeered it and put it on her fireplace with a candle in it, it looks good with a candle in it I must admit.
Excuse the bad image it was taken with my phone.

My workspace at the moment.

This is my workspace at the moment, it has recently had a change of imagery so its looking a bit more sparse than I like.

My lovely space.

Me trying to look knowledgeable in my chair.
My favorite object in my space right now is my little laser cut circles that I cut out in the 3D workshop while experimenting with the new awesome laser cutter. 
You cant tell me that these aren't the most awesome thing you have ever seen.

They are super tiny in real life, I almost lost them in my wallet D:

Confirmation of practice project.

The current project I'm getting really stuck into at uni is Confirmation of practice, its aims are to pretty much make anything we want as long as we produce a finished outcome. I have been focusing on my favorite inspirations, black holes and fluorescent colours for ideas in this project and so far have created several maquettes which translate my ideas into a 3 dimensional form.
Cardboard cutout, can you guess what my inspiration was?

Aluminium

Brass wire brush, looks better than  I originally anticipated.
