Project Summary

Project Summary This project made myself reflect much while listening to music and gluing paper together for few hours. Actually made me feel terrible because of all the books bought to never be completely filled or even used. Though I also took step backs while in my feelings and thoughts, remembering nothing truly evil as been committed, but if you have something, do not buy something new just because it has a galaxy on the cover of it. Use a just as good sketchbook that is big, solid black, and is just as good for the same purpose. On the topic of purpose, was a project like this worth it or is this just another waste of paper even though all the pages were stained, used, and bent up beyond scholarly presentation. So many questions are in my mind that could cause one to spiral into a rabbit hole of thoughts. When I was doing the finer things like trim and the pink flowing foam on the ends.

After that, I took two sheets and glued them together to make a stronger panel.  I repeated that with the other two panels and now I had two panels that were more akin to construction paper. Once home I did some patching up on some weakened spots, then applying the stuffing inside between the two layers with a hot glue gun. Slowly found out that Elmer’s glue just would not make foam stick, so I had to resort to the glue gun to make things stick extremely well. After all the foam and bubble wrap got placed down, sealed the two layers of paper together with a large amount of hot glue an...

Comforter Thinking hard about something that is used a lot in life as a college student is past assignments and papers. Mainly papers that would never really be fatal if they were to be discarded. So I thought about making a sort of  miniature, fluffy, and a piece that can somewhat bounce back buy filling a paper blanket with more paper that has been folded or crumpled up to provide the stuffing. Also using certain design or patter of different styles of paper to give a design to it. Then usually some comforters have a different front border or trim to it. So thinking of shredding some paper and adhering it to provide a fluffy front to add some more decor.
