Bristol Board & Forms

Bristol Board

I like Bristol board, but it's really thick and I want my lamp to be light and airy feeling. I'm thinking about using drawing paper. It's light and folds well, but is really see through. I just hope it will work! Otherwise playing with paper is a lot of fun! It's really relaxing and a great stress reliever, just cutting away at the paper. Molding different shapes is fun too. 

This one is supposed to be a squid or an octopus. I'm not really sure which I just crumpled paper to get the head effect and cut holes into the legs. I also tried making a fortune paper fold and that was interesting. Although, it did make me want to draw fortunes on it...

Cutting paper can be a lot of fun, it just is time consuming and I'm still worried about how well I'll execute the lamp. Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see!
