Cardboard Craze

I can honestly say I have no idea how to format my blog.  With that out of the way I can begin my self-evaluation of my cardboard craze project.  I attempted the gumtree fruit and all in all I can say I am pretty pleased.  I definitely recognize that I have some opportunities in the time management aspect of planning a project, but the final product was very much what I had in mind.  I underestimated the time it would take to 'rough' up the paper to make the curves/spikes and overestimated the time it would take to cut the cardboard into my funnel like shapes.  That resulted in having an inadequate amount of time to add the final touches to the funnels.  I also broke the original 'stem' in attempting to pick up my piece and therefore had to create a new one that was less pleasing than the original.  

For me, this assignment was...ideal.  I had a definite object with definite features that I needed to replicate...there were guidelines, rules, expectations that were clearly defined.  I liked that.  I'm not a think outside of the box kinda gal...I'm workin on it, but for now I like the rules.  They're my friend.
