Thomas is my lovely model. The first thing I did was smash the teacup. After lots of consideration and hatred, smashing the teacup was the right thing to do. I went to a good will and found a teacup set with holes in the plates. I got the idea to make a mixture of a bird feeder and a wind chime. After trying a lot of different ways, I realized that I couldn't drill a hole through the pieces like I had hoped. This led me to using wire and hot glue to hang the pieces. The end result isn't the best, but considering I had less than a week, it came out okay.
Positives: I like how the pieces hang in a swirl pattern, and I'm glad that I was able to have pieces of different sizes. I also liked the different colors of wires, I thought they added necessary color to it. I also like how the teacup looks on the top. Negatives: Whoooo boy. I hate how the wires are not straight, I tried my best, but they ended up bent. The whole thing leans due to the weight of the pieces, which is something I didn't account for. This makes the bird feeder part of the idea impossible. Overall, I made this project to fit a deadline, and I think that shows. I learned a lot from this project, ranging from using the hot glue gun more efficiently to how to work under heavy pressure to get it done. While I'm not happy with how it came out, it exists on time, and that's what matters.
