DIY Project: How to craft a twine-ball light garland. Time for another DIY craft project and today I’ll be showing you exactly how you can make this twine-ball light garland yourself.

DIY Project: How to craft a twine-ball light garland

It’s one of those projects that’s a little bit messy and does take quite a bit of time, but it is so much fun. Plus you have a really cool piece of decor at the end of it. Perfect for parties or around the home, you can paint it up in any colour you want to match your design scheme, and when lit, it looks so pretty, casting lots of patterned twinkly light everywhere. Mine is now taking pride of place in my office. How-to make a Twine Ball Light Garland I’ve seen twine balls used for all sorts of purposes, from chandeliers to dining table decor, so I thought I’d have a go at making a light garland using this idea.

I chose to use coloured twine, alternating between pink and purple twine balls. {You will need} {Four} This is the really messy part. {Five} Leave to dry overnight. So what do you think, is this one you’ll be trying out at home? Michelle x. STRANDBEEST. Alpha/Omega: Stylised Silhouettes. I've FINALLY began to develop visuals for Yuki-Onna.

Alpha/Omega: Stylised Silhouettes

I felt after my Alchemy visuals, the first important step was to finish everything behind the logic of Yuki-Onna, so I knew her like the back of my hand. This obviously lends itself to the design, taking for instance my Character Bio. Silhouetting the body for me was the way forward in my Pre-Production, choosing how to stylise her body, as well as and portraying her character. I took influence from the shapes of icicles, to get the cold nature of snow/frost, which is embedded into her persona. Talking with Alan after this step, he guided me towards Japanese Waves/Wind as a source of shapes, as the icicle shapes maybe 'too stylised'. I think the answer is a mixture of both these stylises. Spherical Wheel Electric Motorcycle. We’ve seen a few different preliminary photos of this spherical drive motorcycle, but now it has been confirmed that a group of engineering students is in fact pursuing the project, and are looking to implement an omnidirectional drive system into a motorcycle.

Spherical Wheel Electric Motorcycle

A small group of engineering students consisting of Max Ratner, Henry Li and Andrew Parmar have teamed up with local sponsors including Wolf Engineering to make this project possible. The team gained their inspiration from the self-balancing technology made famous by the Segway, and through a lot processes the crew has nearly finished their prototype. The goal is to ensure the motorcycle can be piloted by a first time rider with no special skill set.

The advantages are clear, with the most obvious being the fact that the cycle has a zero turning radius making it extremely maneuverable. Check out the omnidirectional drive system testing below, which is how the spheres will be controlled on the finished product. Impossible Instant Lab for Apple iPhone.
