My Prototype… I think.

After a meeting with my tutor, who advised me to begin making, I decided to make my prototype piece. Im not sure about it though, it turns out I don’t know much about actually making things!

I used a sheet of acetate and printed out a template cone to get the right shape

Then I added pieces of black card and tracing paper using pins and glue

I imagined it to be hanging from the ceiling, however I think there needs to be more black to make a complete piece and then add the tracing paper pieces afterwards.

There were a lot of things which this showed up and a lot of things which still need to be figured out, such as how do I fix this to the ceiling? It would also need to be a lot bigger, and how can I speed up the making process as attaching each piece individually is really slow work.
