7×7 #2 PROTOTYPE CREATION

The final product will be a block/stamp with a handle, on which there is attached a flag.

There were a couple of iterations of this.

The first idea was to use a mold and create the object from plaster.

 

I built the mold using concrete

The mold is ready

The plaster mix is made up of honey, spirulina and plaster.

 

A wooden spoon is used as a handle.

The final first iteration: I was not satisfied. Especially the stamp part of the bottom of the object did not work. The plaster had not filled out the mold evenly enough to be usable. I discarded this iteration.

Second iteration was with another approach. Using Magic Model clay for children, I was able to make a large handle, with a small wooden stick onto which I could attach a flag. For the stamp in the bottom, I used a wooden star that I had already created.

The flag is made of paper and plastic, onto which I stamped the star with a mixture of magic model clay and honey. The flag is attached to a wooden stick, which is then inserted into the clay object.

The handle is a plastic bottle covered with magic model clay. In the bottom of the object, I attached the wooden star.
