Ouch on the pun, and kudos on the furniture!!!
|
Hmm... Pun? I guess I missed it.. Or is this another Canadian thing? :)
|
here in canada, there is a furniture chain called “the brick”. ottawa is a
quasi-bilingual city. as you might have guessed, in french, “brique” also means
brick. the pun she may also have been referring to was the “herd” of cows -
pictures yet to be posted.

The Dining Set reminds me of IKEA (Swedish warehousy-type furniture stores
here in the US). I love IKEA, but not necessarily for the furniture - I love
the goofy names everything has (“I’ll take the oak BUMBOOLSVEE with a pair of
side OOMLORTS please”). Oh yeah, and I can eat the meatballs all day!

we also have ikea, hence the swedish/danish looking furniture. they also have a
great almond/marzipan cake.

ps: I just found your
recliners.. Great use of Racers winged parts to get those curves! May I ask
- did you design the shape of your furniture first and THEN search for parts
to create those shapes, or did you look at the parts and think, “What can I
make with this” or “This looks like a cushion, etc.“?
|
i could never be that organized - design first then buy? mostly i look at a
piece & come up with ideas. occasionally i’m presented with a challenge when a
piece comes up in a draft - technic, what’s that good for? - & then i’m driven
to find a good use for it. hence the side/headboard on the
child’s bed.
hope this inspires your students to think outside the brick, er, box.
