Here’s the finished assignment. I’ve discovered a couple of practical things about cardboard and hot glue:<\/p>\n

First, the Teflon thimble\/burnisher (I was never sure what that thing is) that I got in a goodie bag at a calligraphy conference many, many years ago is very useful for pushing around hot glue. I’m not sure the thimble\/burnisher will ever be useful for burnishing again, unless I’m willing to spend an awful lot of time getting bits of hot glue off first.<\/p>\n

And here’s a little example of the vagaries of human nature: even though this is the first time I’ve ever<\/span> found a use for this tool, now I’m thinking how useful it would have been for folding paper if I hadn’t gotten hot glue on it. I’m thinking this even though a bone folder is perfectly good tool for folding paper and I have 8 or 10 bone folders, and even though this tool has saved my fingers from multiple burns in its present use.<\/p>\n

Let’s see, what else have I learned? Hmm. Well, I’m recommitted to the idea of not becoming a sculptor. That’s not a new bit of education, just a solidification of previous knowledge. I find it hard to think in 3D. We were supposed to draw a picture of what we planned to make, and I found that so hard as to be virtually impossible. So I followed the Jasper Johns’s dictum: “Do something, do something to that, and then do something to that.<\/span> ” Without, perhaps, his results \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
