Shopping for Materials

So we got together this weekend to discuss what our product is going to look like and how we are going to achieve it. The idea is still a ball, but we needed the right materials, biodegradable, natural materials that could be shaped spherically. We pretty much had a good idea in our heads.

Last night however, Lorenzo came up with a brand new idea that threw us off guard. A tea bag. A bomb. A tin can. A plastic water blister. He offered to come in on Saturday to our group meeting and show us some products he was thinking of that he though were relevant to our project:




We understand what Lorenzo was trying to get at, but why does it have to be so "industrial?" Fabric, metals, plastics, textiles. Why does it have to be so wasteful?

Why tried our best to take his advice into consideration when shopping for the right materials. In the end, we bought some tulle, sheet moss, and artificial yellow flowers.
