EXPERIMENT – 1: Cutting of PVC pipe

Cutting of PVC pipe was not successful for me in the beginning as I could not cut it due to thickness. It was very difficult for me to cut this thick pipe. But then I heat this in low flam and i cut it easily. and remove its blackness with the help of sand paper and eraser

EXPERIMENT – 2: Cutting of PVC pipe

This was an interesting and as well as hard experiment, cutting the PVC pipe from top center and make it like flower Patel this was a bit difficult to cut it without heat (but i didn't remove the blackness which comes while heating it)

EXPERIMENT – 3 Burning Nylon rope

First i try to burn it on low flame but it didn't burn on low flame

EXPERIMENT – 4: Burning and sticking Nylon rope

Burning and pasting is very interesting to do (While I was working with nylon rope and I remembered that I used to made this in my school days for decoration.)

EXPERIMENT – 5: Cutting, Burning and Pasting the nylon rope

This was quite interesting. For this experiment first I cut the rope in small pieces and burn it from the and (quickly)stick it together.

EXPERIMENT – 6: Burning OHP sheet

EXPERIMENT – 7: stick OHP

In this I tried to stick it without any tool only what I did is I burn only one corner and stick to another and I realized that OHP sheet burn very quickly but its difficult to stick it with heat as you can see in the above image last 4 of them are not much good and another corner was burn because of the heat and in the first 3 I manage it very nicely.(but it was very difficult)

EXPERIMENT – 8: Plastic mesh

I join it with burning method

EXPERIMENT – 9: Polyester felt

EXPERIMENT – 10: polyester felt

Easy and interesting to burn it from edges. This felt catches heat very quickly even in low flow.

EXPERIMENT – 11: Try to control the heat on polyester felt

This was to difficult to control the heat to check the texture of the felt

EXPERIMENT – 12: Study the foam of felt

For this experiment I used comb I rub it for 5 to 6 times and I see that a kind of silky and soft thread thing come out.

EXPERIMENT – 13: Plastic water hose

First I cut the plastic water hose with scissor and burn it and stick it without tool.

EXPERIMENT – 14: Plastic water hose

EXPERIMENT – 15:Plastic water hose

In this experiment I use cutter and made quills

EXPERIMENT – 16: sun board

Burning experiment is always interesting but harmful as well, I burnt the sunboard with the help of a candle and saw how it turned black

EXPERIMENT – 17: thermocol

EXPERIMENT – 18: burn thermacol on high flame

EXPERIMENT – 19 : Making hard the nylon rope and attach with water hose

For me this is quit difficult to stick it with water hose it took a lot of time so stick (I stick with fevi bond and elfy)

EXPERIMENT – 20 : Bubble rapp (BURNING)in low flame

EXPERIMENT – 4

EXPERIMENT – 5

EXPERIMENT – 6

Interesting and easy to do, cut it scratches the sheet

EXPERIMENT – 7

EXPERIMENT – 8 Cutting of aluminum pipe!

I tried cutting aluminum pipe but I couldn’t cut it because it was too thick but then I heat it and cut it and after making this I use sandpaper

EXPERIMENT – 9

DAY –3

NATURAL

MATERIAL I USED

1. Jute Rope

2. Sarkanda

3. Bamboo

4. Coir

5. Cotton Cord

6. Corrugated Sheet

TOOLS

1. Elfie

2. Fevibond

3. scissors

4. candle

5. cutter

6. Candle

EXPERIMENT – 1: (Burning bamboo stick)

First I break this stick with hammer and cut it in 5 to 6 pieces This stick was to difficult to cut or break. Then I burn it on high flame what I realized after doing this experiment was it took a time to burnt because of its thickness

EXPERIMENT – 2 : Jute rope

This was a new and surprising experiment for me. Using Elfie with jute releases very harmful fumes so, I had to stay away from it and to pour Elfie.

EXPERIMENT – 3: Jute rope

In this experiment I open the jute rope very deeply even I see that it have 4 layers that’s why it is hard

EXPERIMENT – 4 Jute fabric

I took a piece of jute fabric that I had cut out from a 24/7 bag. I then proceeded to pull out the individual fibres to create a textural variation.

EXPERIMENT – 5 Jute fabric

Cutting a piece of jute fabric and pile out all the layers of it

EXPERIMENT – 6 Jute rope

Using Elfie is quite risky I ever use it very carefully of this first made this shape and then put Elfie on it

EXPERIMENT – 7 : Jute rope

I take the 2 second layer of the jute rope and stick it to the sun board

EXPERIMENT – 8 : Breading with jute rope

Breading of thread was easy and further weaving was even easier and smooth due to its flexibility.

EXPERIMENT – 9 cotton cord

This experiment was quite tricky I wanted to create a circular structure by using favicol and cotton cord. I decided to start by using a balloon and cover it with Vaseline then I mix the favicol with water and put that on jute rope and pate it on balloon and leave it for 4 to 5 hours and the end result was interesting .

EXPERIMENT – 10 Burn sarkanda stick

I burned the sarkanda. It caught on fire rapidly and burned aggressively. After the fire was extinguished I was left with a black stick made with ash,

EXPERIMENT – 11 Burning cotton

Burn cotton I burn the cotton I realized that it catches the heat very quickly and it convert into black ash

EXPERIMENT – 12:

Burning banded Burning material is interesting but as well as difficult with some material like this banded this catch the fire very fast and convert into ash.

EXPERIMENT – 13 sarkanda stick

This was waste sarkanda stick for me because this was broken then I thought I can make any shape with this. To stick this I used elfy

EXPERIMENT – 14

I slit the sarkanda into 4 slits. I then weaved a jute rope through it.

EXPERIMENT – 15 : Jute rope

EXPERIMENT – 16 match stick

I make the different shapes with match stick and sticked it together

EXPERIMENT – 17 Elfie with leaf

I dipped the leaf in elfy and paste it with another and I observed that leafs become hard and it change its colour a bit from the corners

EXPERIMENT – 18

Basically This Idea came to my mind because of my mother because she was thronging these. then I thought I should make something with these then I started sticking it to balloons but that was a failed idea then with these broken peals of peanut I made a umbrella

EXPERIMENT – 19 cotton cord

EXPERIMENT – 20 Burning jute fabric

Reflection

This week was about basic explorations of different types of materials like synthetic, aluminum, natural and composite materials. Exploring different opportunities of using materials from basic to complex ones. basically for me this week was all about achievement and failures. but i really learn a lot from failures and find solution and as well as got to know about where to use fevibond, fevi quick, fevicol like few of the material didn't stick with fevibond and fevicol but that only stick with the help of fevi quick or elfy and some time i realized that not only adhesive stick something but the burning also help to stick something like nylon rope, plastic mosquito mesh. while using material we really need to focus that how and where to use and how much to use like while working with resin i realized that quantity really maters. overall i got a great experince in this week and i'll surely apply it in my future.

HAPPY WORKING!!!!!!!!
