Bit of a breakthrough today on my new GYO*BYO project and it now seems to be coming together really well. The donation of a enormous bag of coloured hosiery has cleared the way through to solve some of the materially technical problems that I was struggling with last week. It is amazing how materials can either make or break an idea. Particularly when they are required to ‘do’ something.
It is scary how much time I spend in pondering the minute details of workings – how do you find something to do the job which has been made for another purpose all together – and can you get enough of them to do it. Usually my first port of call is my local (and also my not so local) scrapstore. These two Aladdin’s caves of junk have provided more solutions and ‘eureka’ moments than I care to remember.
So for anyone with an idle moment – my current problem needs something that is:
a lightweight, 90 degree angled, rigid structure of about 2 cm one way and a bit more the other way. I need a bigger version of one of those indoor ‘golf ball catchers’ – any ideas?
