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.
