Doppelgänger

Step 1 Seek and ye shall find.

Step 2 — one ten minute iteration with a scanner linked to 3D printer at Pueblo City-County Library District — thank you Derrick!  (One can scan multiple times to enhance reproduction — I like roughness, contrast of first iteration.)  Then remove support structure (aka ‘apartment building’).

Step 3 Wearable Doppelgänger

10 Tools

It looks ‘low tech’ but it took ten tools (powered by hand, water & electricity) to make this lovely necklace.  See below for list of tools.  Also not as big as it looks — the copper tubing is only 4 inches.  Copper tubing found in the road down to Lake Eildon. And the Australian 1953 penny — found by Ray when digging around the house (built in the 1950s) at Bonnie Doon, Victoria, Australia

Tools in order of use:

  1. Water (Lake Eilden & later pressure hose)
  2. Stick (by shore)
  3. Wooden skewer
  4. Plastic tie
  5. Wire
  6. Screw driver
  7. Hammer
  8. Vise
  9. Kitchen scale (to weigh so we could bet on how much the remaining stones & dirt inside weighed.  We weighed again when completely cleaned out — Ray won — hey Ray, do you still have the numbers?)
  10. Compressed Air

 

Thank you, @d_fse @in_between_2107

 

I have the tubing from my Mother’s oxygen machine & wanted to make travel jewellery from it.  But….  So now I have wonderful inspiration.  Thank you @d_fse @in_between_2107 . If any of you are in Melbourne, go to the middle subway at Flinders St station to see in person — wonderful.  “Hey Mom — you don’t need this anymore! 🙂  Love, Debbie”
