Trash Is A Failure Of The Imagination.
Reflection: What I thought about this project was that it was an amazing experience to work on. It really pushed my barriers of creativity and helped me to be more open minded about the things that I do. This project showed me how to work as a team with another person and helped me to understand that trash can be used for just about anything, as long as you set your mind to it. The work was alot, and I did come in to work on my project in my free time, but overall this project was not only fun, but the finished product looks great and creative. I loved this project and I can't wait until the next project!!!!!!!
Trash Is A Failure Of The Imagination.
Media Used: The media that I used for my project was bottlecaps.
Other Materials: Other materials we used were baskets, fishing string, laminated paper, and scrapbooking string.

Explaining My Idea
My idea in the begining was to make a hanging fixture of bottlecaps, but then I thought that I should make the idea more interesting, so I thought of doing a basket instead. My partner agreed and we were able to get a basket the following day and Lisa gave us the idea of using the Peyote Stitch to connect the bottlecaps together and we printed instructions on the idea and we started connecting the bottlecaps together into rows of 8. We tied a knot on one side of the basket, and then we twisted the row around the basket and tied a knot at the other end. We ended up making 3 baskets in a row in which they would be used as containers to hold various cosmetics, jewelery, and hair products. Not going far too off from our theme, we used real hair from a nearby hair salon and glued it to paper that we laminated and cut to fit into the boxes. At the end, I sewed the laminated paper to the baskets and we put in the hair supplies and jewelery into the baskets as our final product. In the end, our project turned out a big success after our hard work and dedication.
Trash Is A Failure Of The Imagination
Task:To use discarded items in order to create a piece of sculpture.
Explain The Assignment:-I looked at artists on google images and I found many bottlecap baskets thathelped give me the idea of the baskets that I made.
-The research on the web that I did was searching for images that kind-of matched the idea that I had in my head, and I also researched the Peyote Stitch in order to be able to connect the bottlecaps together and then attach them to my baskets afterwards.
-I practiced using cold connections by using many different methods including (The Peyote Stitch) to connect my bottlecaps together. Then I practiced on how to use the stitched bottlecaps on several items, until I came to the idea of the basket.
-I planned out my idea by first researching the web in order to find a good idea to do, then I drew the idea out on a piece of paper, and then my partner and I started talking about what types and styles of baskets we would use.
-We executed the idea out by getting a basket big enough to get covered by bottlecaps, then we Peyote Stitched the bottlecaps, and connected them together.
