Work in Progress: Star Ornament



Star Ornament

Star, prototype: glitter paper

Three dimensional designs continue to be a challenge to me. At first glance, these stars look alright, but inspection reveals many miscalculations. As this is true, gluing was strenuous - holding all the points together when they didn't really want to meet.

This sample shows the addition of star cut-outs. Just like me to decorate before the design is correct. This piece is actually unfinished to give a clue as to how the design is accomplished.

Each point is one cut, folded and glued together.
The points then glue to each other to form the star.

The design works, but it is still wrong. I am over trying to make it right.
I have to put it away until I am brave and patient enough to take a crack at it again.
