Mission failed: Origami
A few weeks weeks ago I got some real cool paper. It was really thick, but it would be the perfect package material for some new products. I didn't want to use glue or tape for the package. So I though about origami.
Tutorials in the internet showed me that it was really easy if you do it step by step. Because I didn't have any origami-paper, I used printing paper, and cut it in to a square. Printing paper is more thick, and doesn't fold as easy as origami paper.
I found all kind of cool animals I could fold. But I decided to start with the box, which I needed for the package. And which would be much more easy as the cool animals.
and how it ended? I'm still practicing.
Mission failed: Wine bottles
Again, I found some youtube tutorials which looked really easy. Cutting a wine bottle with a cotton string, acetone and fire. It seemed very easy, and collecting wine bottles isn't a very hard job also.
So, I drank wine. Many wine. I made the bottles clean, removed the label and brought some 100% cotton string. Full of enthusiasm I started my new experiment. Again, it was unsuccessful. Even after trying and trying (drinking and drinking) they became not as pretty as the bottles in de videos.
Off course I didn't gave up and in the end there were a few bottles which were good cut. It took about 80 bottles. I have to admit that I didn't drank all the wine by myself.
After all the bottles, the good ones and the cracked ones. I had my windowsill filled with them. Great. So after a lot of failure I was pretty proud of the result. And now, I have no idea what I would like to do with it. Too much possibilities and to little time...
