Prototype 1

I’ve had the idea in my head for a couple months. The planning sketches were done weeks ago. The materials have been cluttering my work table for days. Finally, today … I got around to making the initial prototype of one component of a major project!

Naturally, there were problems, and the end result was messier than intended, but lessons were learned and those problems (mostly) solved. Here’s the end result: a tiny book in a test tube!

Try to hold back your overwhelming squeals of glee and anticipation! LOL!

Today’s Experiments

I have found a substance more insidious and impossible to remove from oneself and one’s environment: paper pulp fuzz created by applying a Dremel tool to a homemade paper object. I will never be rid of the fuzz! It’s everywhere!

But the wood burner experiment on the same paper pulp object produced some interesting results. Definitely worth further exploration … and it didn’t make a huge giant mess either, which is always a plus.
