All five drawings were drawn in full scale to my actual cube. The hardest drawing to do was the three dimensional drawing because it was hard to match up the straws with the same angles of the cube. The easiest drawing was the edge drawing because it was a close up of just one edge, which was easy because my cube was very simple.

structure
I made my 4x4 cube with very clean lines. The edges protrude out, creating more dimension. My first model had only two, white straws holding up my cube. I thought it was too simple and did not provide enough support. I ironed my straws so that they would be flat just like the edges of my cube. I used styrofoam as the base because I wanted to be able to cut out a certain spot on the base so that the cube belonged there. I chose blue and orange straws because they are complimentary colors and I also wanted to add contrast between the cube and base.

intersection
My first ideas were a small bag with a draw string, a picture frame and a message board.
This was my first attempt at making a "container" for my sketchbook. I used cardboard as the paper element to give it more support, fabric to cover the cardboard and batting, and I used ribbon as my thread element to hide the seams. The fabric glue ended up seeping through the fabric, which didn't look very nice.
My final product ended being a completely new concept. I weaved fabric and paper together to create the "container" for my sketchbook. I used thread to sew the ends together so there would be much cleaner lines. I liked the idea of weaving the materials together because it worked better with the "intersection" idea.
