paper experimentations!

So I was FINALLY able to take pictures of my paper experiments!  Most of these I didn't end up using in my final lamp structure, but I guess thats why it's called experimenting right?

this is the one that I'm using for my final.

I loved the puncturing idea!

I would have experimented more with this one.

this is my preliminary structure for my final lantern.  (sorry the picture is facing the wrong way!)

Mainly I tried to contrast the fluidness of the swirl pattern and the rigidness of the squares.  I also like the surprise element when you turn the light on! :) I'm really excited to see what my final lamp will look like.    I'm actually looking forward to working on it some more! This has been a really fun project so far.
