Creative Space & Documentation Possibilities

What are you setting out to do?

During this week, I hope to recognize the space I have around me and begin preparing for this upcoming semester’s assignments.

Process Notes

I have a woven phone cord that is supposed to resist tearing/exposing the wires. I’m sure the plastic is wrapped with this woven texture, but it would be interesting to see if it was just the woven shell with the wires directly inside. I noticed some fraying near the end that would usually be impacted by general use (and possibly tear/expose the wires on a regular cord). The material is somewhat reflective and woven in a chevron-type design pattern despite being tight-knit. There are about ten rows around the circumference of the cord, and it is about six feet long.

As far as future documentation goes, I am unsure how to upload video, and google docs doesn’t support ‘live photos.’ I have ‘still photos’ for now, but I am sure my documentation style will update.

Reflection

My main space this semester will be at my dining room table, in the center of my apartment. Due to some of my crafts, I have a nice headlamp that I acquired specifically for crafting use. Additionally, I have a super bright desk lamp (for my puzzles) and a bright overhead light. To keep my home projects separate from school, I will go to Goodwill this week and buy a dedicated wicker basket for both projects.

While my concentration is more focused while I sit at my desk, sitting there for hours can be pretty uncomfortable. Therefore I have a second dedicated space that is more comfortable, my couch. I have an extra pillow for back support and an additional pillow to put on my coffee table to protect my legs (and keep them comfortable)! Finally, I have a dedicated space on my computer to keep all class files, including all of the photos I use, and I’ve decided to use a large notebook to take my pictures for a clean background
