my final chair

In these pictures it shows my final chair I used cardboard, chicken wire and wire to make the base of my chair, and covered most of the chair with mod roc. For the seat I made a cushion and stuffed it with toy stuffing. To make the dimples in the cushion I sewed in one spot. I covered all the legs and around the leg rest with the toy stuffing to look like clouds. I painted the front of the chair like a water fall because the are relaxing. I used all the health and safety whilst making the chair.

withies surface

The pictures above show the withie maquette covered in cling film and a layer of mod roc. I used cling film so the mod roc wouldn't dip in when drying. I might use this in my final piece because it curves easier and looks better.
Health and safety whilst using mod roc; I made sure I had plenty of space to work on, when cutting the mod roc I cut it while it was still in the box because the dust can be harmful to the lungs, my coat and bag was hung up to prevent anyone tripping up and I cleared any spillages so no one slipped.

recycled objects chair

In these pictures it shows my recycles objects chair. I used cardboard, bottles and newspaper.

For the spiral I cut the tops and bottoms of a bottle and cut them in half, I used the glue gun to hold every thing in place. To make the arms of the chair I folded in half and folded both ends inwards like the bricks for the newspaper house. 

Health and safety whilst making this chair; when using the glue gun, the window was open to keep the room ventilated. We used the gun nearest to the socket so no wires were left around, I tried to make sure I had plenty of space to work on so I didn't burn any one, my bag was hung up so no one tripped up.

withies maquette

In these pictures it shows the spiral for the back of my chair. I used withies that had been soaked for over a day because its easy to bend. I used wire to connect pieces. I also used wire to keep the willow bent because it kept bouncing back to its original form. 

Health and safety whilst using wire and withies; when cutting the wire and the withies I pointed it down, so I didn't hit any one, I made sure I had plenty of space to work on, my coat and bag was hung up so no one tripped up and I cleaned any spillages so no one slipped.

hands of a clock (wire) maquette

In these pictures it shows the hands off the clock.instead of the being straight and made it curvy to look like it has melted, I made two of these they would go on top of the faces that I have also made out of wire. 

health and safety whilst using wire; when using the pliers I cut downwards so the wire didn't hit anyone. I made sure I had plenty of space to work on. My coat and bag was hung up so no one fell over them.

melted clock maquette (mod roc)

In these pictures it shows my wire melted clock maquette covered in mod roc. I made two of these melted clock to go over the arm of the chairs, I made this by bending the wire into an oval shape and then curving it to fit on the arms. then I got some cling film and wrapped it so the mod roc would stick.

Health and safety whilst using this material; when cutting the wire I cut downwards so I didn't hit anyone, I made sure I had plenty of space to work on, when cutting the mod roc I cut it while it was still in the box because the dust can be harmful to the lungs, my coat and bag was hung up to prevent anyone tripping up and I cleared any spillages so no one slipped.

view of cardboard back

This picture shows how I secured the maquette from the back. I used masking tape on the arms, I wrapped it round the back to keep it in place. I used all the health and safety precautions.
