Shapeshifting!

 For the past two years and a half, I been exploring different designs as I was experimenting with palm tree fronds. After much trials, errors and a total disappointment when The Auset Fronds came apart after dropping her, the final design is coming together. I am using a bonding material that is very strong. Once two two pieces are joined together using the adhesive, it's not easy to pull them apart. It's a feeling of unbelievable accomplishment to see something being created by you, in front of your very eyes.  I have to constantly fight my impatience of  going through the process of building each section I'm working on. I'm being very careful not to hastily join pieces together so they won't be sloppy and poorly done. This time I'm paying close attention to how I am building up the hull. Doing this I am now seeing some real unimaginable results. The boat is coming into an actual shape that I didn't plan. The material are forming themselves, and I am just the instrument of their visual instruction. This instruction can now be duplicated successfully. In the beginning, I was drawing what I wanted the boat design to look like, but I learned that I had to listen to the material that I am using. They have their own form that has to be followed, in order to successfully be able to create with them. So now that the hull is formed on it's own accord, I was able to record the results on paper. Eventually I maybe able to put the design on 3D Cad. I just hate having to struggle with using the program itself, because it can be quite intimidating trying to figure out or even use it. Not to forget to mention the time you'll spend just trying to do that.
