Piper - 20x

Oh my gosh-- this is the most dedicated I have ever been in Foundations. I treated this 20x assignment as if I were intricately underglazing the inside of a ceramic bowl or writing an essay on a topic I believed in. The process I went through to magnify the caster even paralleled that of my more quality prose: I began with an impulsive and jejune response, then spent sufficient time testing it out to realise it couldn't go very far-- so I edited my solution to maximise effectiveness and efficiency (and enjoyability-- might as well). My magnified caster was originally going to be built around a paper wheel, but layering foam around the wheel was completely non-functional. After I altered my plan to include a more reasonable use of foam (tracing, cutting, stacking, rasping), I figured I'd finish the caster by upholstering it in a thin, foam-type cloth. Soon after wrapping a component, however, I realised this was the most ridiculous idea ever in existence (pertaining to casters), and I immediately turned to the world of insta-colour aerosol.

…so, in short, even if my project seems haphazardly held together by a coat of spray paint, know that a lot of consideration, effort, and determination (…and health-- SO MANY FUMES) went into it. I loved this 20x caster like my own [independently initiated artwork].



Oh, and spray paint and I are now sworn enemies.
