Modular Madness!

Getting started was proving to be tricky for me since I am a very representational kind of girl. Some of my ideas were; to use q-tips to create a giant ear, an outhouse out of empty toilet paper rolls. Lucky for me Mr. Bill had a box of plastic binder coils that he donated to me.

Looking at the coils I could picture a city with big sky scrappers or people. To representational. While playing with the coils and seeing if they could hook easily together I accidentally broke a few rings off.

Breaking the rings off gave me many ideas to create other shapes with them.

Some of my designs looked a clunky and had to be ditched.

After creating a few designs with my rings I sketched out a few of my ideas. My ideas all included hanging the shaped from fishing wire. One idea was to hang the strings from a coil that had not been broken. Another was to hang my designs in the middle of squares created by gluing the coils in squares.
