Title: Geometric Decoration #4
Sub-title: Christmas Ornament #1
Completed: December 2011
Type: Ornament, hard plastic and tape
Status: Reference
The plastic pieces are made of high density polyethylene (HDPE for short), a type of low energy plastic that is difficult to glue to anything else. At TAP Plastics, one of the employees recommended double sided tape. This was my first experiment with double sided tape, and while it worked well enough, I've learned I can get a much better look by doing as much taping as possible first, then giving a base of spray paint.
For that reason, I am making this a reference piece. I'll go again with the same pattern, or perhaps a slight variation, but I believe I can make it look better the next time.
