Laser cut letters - Part 2

The experimentation continues, this time with sticks.

I have made work before which I have then wanted to stick into the ground (think outside installation) and have previously tried using garden wire. With the wooden letters, wooden sticks felt like they would make more sense. 

Without an indefinite supply of letters, I decided to go for one of each letter of the alphabet as a test, as I do not currently have any words or phrases in mind.

The gluing of the letters to the sticks became a balancing game, as I quickly realized I didn't have the time or inclination to hold a stick to each letter while the glue dried. 

At first, it was a little like spinning plates as I had to keep catching falling sticks and re-gluing and re-balancing. However, after a while, I must have got into the zone, and after a couple of short trips to the studio, all letters had sticks. Then it was just a case of waiting for the glue to dry.

The end result is quite satisfying, I think partly due to the process. I now have a bunch of letters with sticks waiting for me to do something with them.
