I decided to use cardboard and plastic bags as I thought they were quite contrasting to each other in terms of flimsiness, 3D/2D. Also these were readily available and available to use.

This was a great introduction to test out the idea of 'home studio.' It pushed me to be resourceful of the materials I had handy and encouraged me to be creative in order to work out ways to fuse the two raw materials together. I was happy with how some of my objects worked out. My favorite is probably the second with the ribbon or the fifth that resembles a tree, as I think they are interesting shapes and have a nice form. After seeing other peoples work, I think I could have been more inventive in my ideas and thought more outside the box. Furthermore I think I could have photographed them better to reduce shadows/ darkness and made them more interesting. Although, it one of my first attempts at photographing my work in the course and looking back (now in semester two) I am pleased to see my progression and I think I have improved my skills of photographing my work.
Also unfortunately I would have tried to re -photograph my final outcomes for Mid Year Assessment, however due to having to travel between home and Glasgow due to the pandemic, I do not have them with me currently in order to do this.

Also could use sticks to join materials.

I started experimenting with sellotape.

I tried using drawing pins to attach the two.

I weaved the plastic through and overlapped it.

I then modified this by using two bands.

This lead me to try twisting the strips of plastic around the bands.

I thought of how the plastic could be slotted in using elastic bands.

I found another clip similar to a paper clip so tried that out too.

Next I thought about how I could simply attach thw two materials, so I used paper clips.

After I tried a thicker material to tie so I choose ribbon. I cut the handle of the carrier bag off and used the ribbon to tie it to the small piece of cardboard.

This lead me to trying out using string to fuse my two materials, in which I attached the plastic to the string.

I began with a simple typing a knot around a piece of cardboard.

# data[].attributes.body
This lead me to the idea of a more temporary sticking so I used bluetak and stuck layers of cut up plastic bag to the cardboard.

Experimented with making the plastic and cardboard 3D to give dimension and shape.

Moved onto working with a hot glue gun.

Started looking at simple sticking down with a prittstick, changing shape and size and looking at rough textures.

Although this is very simple I like the rough textures of it.
