L'objet et son rafistolage

Sketches and pictures of the objects, their problems, the ideas and the actual hacks

The concepts, drawings and titles are collaborations with the participants within 15 minutes brainstorms. The revamps are tailored to fit the participants'  capacity to be different, their skills, and the material they already have.  To see all 50 sketches click on <<Previous at the bottom of the page for each month in Archives .

Handel Siren

27/8/2019

 
Picture
The girl's baroque bedroom door handle is noisy, clicking, annoying. It's a good start to turn it into an alarm device, enhancing the sound enough to announce visitors or her own exit.

Stop Making Sense

27/8/2019

 
Picture
The record player doesn't turn steadily anymore. Why not turning it into a contemporary music composition device by making it even more wobbly. 3 favorite vintage vinyls played at once in 3 segments could become a hit!

Mickey Molding

27/8/2019

 
Picture
The baseboard has been short of 7mm since too long. With a little roof, it makes a perfect niche to host a handmade mouse sculpture. A mini guardhouse.

Garden Ensuite

27/8/2019

 
Picture
The bidet skin sensor is dead so the automatic bum gun doesn't work anymore.  Attaching a garden hose to the bathtub tap, then a shower head at the other end, we can manually water our fanny until flowers grow.

Hip-ster Doll

27/8/2019

 
Picture
The two girls had exactly the same vintage twin sisters dolls with the same leg/hip problem. They could have joined them at the hip to turn them into "conjoined twins" but they don't live together. So a Frankenstein style red thread intervention was voted for.

Blue Bird

27/8/2019

 
Picture
Ken came to me with a 7mm blue agate he wanted to pierce but didn't have the equipment. Turning it into a bird shape felt brooch seemed to fly higher.
