Prototyping..

Mocking up a small version for ways to stick it together using slots, I took photos that came out with quite a patterned (sunflower?) effect:



However the slot idea wasn't strong enough to just hold my piece together, I'd have to stick it too. So I decided, using A3 paper, to mocked up a bigger scale of my final design. This also told me the paper wasn't strong enough. So I went with it anyway, and finished a mock up of what my final outcome could be like, and here's what I ended with:



Doing this mock up helped me work out the finer kinks in my sculpture, such as do I stick the ends inside, or outside, how far in does it go? how bent do I make it? Will it be strong enough?
