Paper Model 1

Step Five

Join two pieces together to form a sphere.

Step One

Draw a rough outline of a dandelion seed with a hole in the middle to represent the head.

Step Three

Join four pieces together to form a circle.

Step Six

Weave the other two pieces the other

Step Two

Trace the shape and cut them out.

Step Four

Repeat Step Three another three times.


Paper Model 2 Step Three

Place pieces together in a ring to represent the outside of the dandelion.

Step One

Cut stips of paper at various widths and lengths.

Step Four

Step Two

Twist them into circles and glue the ends together.

Step Five


Rhino 3D Modelling

1. Create a circle ontop of each ot the seed heads of the dandelion. 2. Transform each shape to better resemble the outline of the hairs ontop of the seed. 3. Extrude each shape to different lengths 4. Rotate each shape eachother, as well as shifting them off the x axis


Pine Wreath

I chose the wreath as a precedent because it is made up of basic geometric shapes that are placed together at different ring and extruded and angled to form an abstract piece of a circular form.
