My wood, today is day 5. Still drying.
Measurements for 2nd idea.
As much as I liked my previous idea, I would like to go with my 2nd idea. I would now like to design a brochure shelf (inspired by the Shenandoah mountains) with a hand-made sign in book and pen. I brought in the first image for Tuesday's class and immediately purchased some wood and gathered material's for Thursday's class. I started working on a layout of measurements for the piece. I then worked on a teenie little model, but at the end of class, I was confused as to how I could scale it down to size. Conclusion: I am just thinking way too hard! Who says I can't use my architectural scale in terms of inches instead of feet?
Since class I was searching and looking pretty desperately for a wood shop and lessons. But in my search, it was strongly recommended to me that I not attempt this curvaceous project without adequate time, know-how and experience. I was so set on wood, but no longer. I'm going to work with museum board and have scrapped another idea (the second idea almost) entirely, and have sketched several variations of the mountain shelf for m.b. For class on tuesday, I will present my revised sketches and create a few models, that's if it's work-in-class day. This should go along more smoothly now.
the curved shelf is pretty cool- great inspirational images! i think that going with museum board will probably be a better way to go. at first i didn't understand what the shape was all about, but the more i look at your models and sketches, i see the mountains that you referenced as your inspiration. maybe go extreme in the translation of the mountains and have really angular peaks- both high and low. the brochures and sign in books could rest in the crevices formed from the peaks.
