Week 5: Assignment

  1. I want to be experimental with how I draw out my circuit, so I drew out a dragon, using copper tape which I have adapted from Liza’s sketch of how the circuit should look like. However when I soldered everything up, only one led works.
  2. For the new craft, I decided to create a Macrame. Its made out of basic half hitch knot making.
  3. I am a designer, artist, and a maker. I like to solve problems but at the same time, I enjoy expressing myself and doing what I would like to do.
  4. My favorite tool is paper. I like its flexibility where I can fold, draw on, make a sculpture of, cut and etc.
  5. By doing Macrame, I discovered there are so many possibilities of making unique patterns just from making knots. I think the frustrating part was the knot making because I kept getting confused whether to put the string on top or under the main string. Some insights I have after doing it for a while was just to focus on making knots around the main string and not having the main string be part of the knot making. I would advise someone who may want to make macrame, to hang their project closer to their arms because your arms will start to hurt after doing it for a while when it’s hanged too high up.
