Time Capsule

From being given the task of designing and making a captivating 'Obet D'Art' my brain has been working overtime in coming up with something amazing, new and innovative.. But until I know how I will present my blog (digital/archival print) my options are limited.

I have thought about making a trip to a scrap yard and just see if anything catches my eye, I have even pondered over mooching through a skip on the street.

I definitely want my time capsule to be made from something I have recycled, just not sure what this will be yet.

I plan to make my time capsule out of Acrylic in the form of a box a little larger than A4Which will hold an A4 file, that will be all my work on this blog printed out and made into a file spiral bound.

Problems with getting the acrylic box made have arisen. The piece of acrylic I already have to make my box out of is proving difficult to get cut, the people I have approached so far charge excessive amounts of money to cut it and others refused to cut a piece which was not their stock ( because they were unsure of what it would consist of and concerns of the product breaking their equipment).

A new concept for my time capsule, print my blog, roll it up and place in a piece of piping/guttering or similar, then maybe paint my name and date on it, using a stencil and gloss paint, or even scribe the details into whatever I use.

Whilst on holiday I thought about melting down all the used carrier bags from supermarkets we have in the cupboard at home, and making some kid of container which will hold my blog print out, until we got home and the mother in law had been round tidying up, and cleared out all the bags!!! Empty cupboard.

Time is a relevant factor for this task, and something I'm running out of rapidly...
Well unfortunately it's not going to be amazing, I have resorted to a ready made box which I will adjust to add a personal touch.
