HighWire’s (and my) drop bears debuted at Floriade this last Monday, and they will be roaming the gardens until the end of festival this weekend. They emerge during the hours of 11 through 3, and seem to like hanging around in the bushes to the west of the Stage 88 grassy area, but remember to rub vegemite behind your ears before you get too close.
Over the last few years I’ve developed my own way of creating patterns for 3D shapes, since I’ve never learned pattern making, and I don’t find it intuitive like I find carving out a solid shape. I’m sure its not novel, but I find it enormously helpful. I tried to take photos of each stage of the making process this time, to illustrate.
