I don't have any photos this week, because so far I've only cut the wood, not assembled it. In the works are:
-A lamp modeled after plaid, with a front panel made of a woven pattern of red and yellow wood of two different widths
-A taller, functional version of the curvy little guy I made last week
-The first stage of a lamp/bookshelf combination unit
I also got a book on interlibrary loan called Residential Lighting: A Practical Guide, and I can pick up The Martha Rules tomorrow. I'm up to item 200ish out of the 999 best designed objects. This far in, I can confidently say that some of these objects are boring to read about, and some are even downright ugly. Also, the book itself is very poorly designed, which is humorous. The font type and size sometimes change drastically from page to page, which makes it very hard to read for long periods of time. Unless it was designed to make me need the ultimate designer accessory: glasses.
Maybe there's something in the water in Bennington right now, but I've found that I, similar to Rachel, have been doing a lot of frantic thinking lately. Specifically, I am reconsidering almost everything I have come to take for granted about my life and future. So if anyone has any suggestions about what I should do with the rest of my life, don't hesitate to let me know. I am more open to advice now than ever.
