12 Twigs Project

Design I
In this model, I peeled the bark at the notches or around the notches so six sticks would be mostly yellow with brown notches and six sticks would be mostly brown with yellow notches.
Subproject
This is my developed subproject.  I played around with different colors of rope to see what effect it would have and how it would compliment the yellow color.  I also payed attention to the spacing of the yellow cutouts.
Design II
In this model, I used wire instead of rope.  I wanted to see what different binding agents looked like with the twigs and how well the wire would hold compared to the rope.  This is also the first model I made where I carefully cut the yellow pieces and used a band saw to cut the ends so it looked neater.
