Shaped the top part of my model out of foam for vacuum forming. This portion will be casted in plaster.
Decided that the previous shape made the object looked too much like a bullet, I created a indentation on one side, to make the form more asymmetrical. The slight dent will also invite people to touch the surface to feel that subtle soft dip, hence linking back to my idea of sharing joy through touch. Will have to keep in mind make the surface really smooth and soft.
Made the base out of pine because it is really soft, allowing me to be able to sand down the steps on one side, continuing the curve from the plaster portion. Laminated the form rather than making it out of a single black of wood, because it is easier to cut out spaces for the electrical components.
