Experiments

I did some experiments that involves mistakes and faults.

Poured wax into a can mould with holes in the base. I like the unpredictable pattern the spillage. If this happens in a production, non of the mass produces good will look the same.

I like the wavy pattern of spilled wax. This was cause by the rippling water that I used for cooling down the wax. 

I also did this experiment in the can. I deliberately pour oil up to only half the depth of the plastic content. This means there is not enough heat to melt the other half. I like how the shaped doesn't take up the exact shape of the mould.

Evaporation of salt water

I left salt water in the mould for 4 days. The mould was set to dry in a slanted position, so the evaporation rate was not consistent. I love the crystal pattern formed on the surface. I can really use this on my final work. And because each crystals are unique and one off, my product would have it individual stamp!
