Almost prototyping

The ideas that I took foreword from my experiments with metals were the plastizote legs and doing it in a thicker plasterzote would be the best way as it would be more defiant and be seen form a large distance. witch is what I was trying to acheeve. As I want my designs to stand out and be noticed in the crowd. So the 12mm thick platerzote would be more aropreut for this. and I tested it out with some even though it is not the right colour you can defiantly see that it is a better idea than the other options I came up with.

The eyes needed to be more light wait that the plastic ball I had picket up form the scrap store so came to the conclusion of paper mashing ballons which worked really well so much better as there is less wait and strain to hold them up and something the children can do in there lessons that envolves them as well.

The sticks to hold the the eyes up I have demonstrated hear with willow and this works realy well I think also using centre cane like for the antenna's but just using 3 peaces on centercan and 1 wire would hold the eyes up but this would need to be experimented with.

The antennas can stay the same with centre cane and wire as they work really well as the children can mold them into there own shapes they want.

The back pack its self will all be contend in corex plastic that will be spray painted purple to match. The width of the plasterzote inbertween the corex means that there is enough room to but the antennas  and poles for the eyes so its is all neat and encaged and they tied up with cable ties.
