Updating the Math on “Las Tunas Grande”
Well here’s what 54 “tuna” look like. They still need to be painted, have their spines sewn in and attached to the piece, but this is a large step of the process. Also, all the spines on the cactus pads have been sewn in and painted. So let’s see, 324 pieces cut and sewn together for the tuna – check. 120 nodes melted and painted on the cactus pads – check. 240 spines sewn into the cactus pads and painted – check. After the “tuna” are painted the only bit left is assembly…and, oh yeah, the 1000 spines that need to be sewn into the tuna. Well, I’m closer anyway. Take a look at my new mini-vid demonstrating the technique used for making the cactus spines. Enjoy:)
