The rim strips are proving to be a great commodity, in terms of useful materials.
They have great working capabilities, are strong durable, and have a nice clean visual appearance.
They come in dark, and beer bottle brown, as well as yellow.
As i was culling a tyre i found a yellow rim strip and took the opportunity to quickly produce yet another cuff bracelet using part of the rim strip for the base, and part of a grey bicycle tyre for the interwoven detail.
Im really enjoying making new products. I like the idea that these bracelets can be quickly produced using stock of an assortment of found objects that vie already collected.
This brings me to another vital point that characterizes the behavior of a bricoleur.
The bricoleur makes do with what he encounters, and takes stock of the means he already has.
His means are concrete, as they have an objective existence, but they are also abstract, as they can play a variety of roles depending on the situation.
They are signs. The bricoleur determines these roles by entering into a dialogue with his inventory. Design as bricolage,Anthropology meets design thinking ,1999 Elsevier science Ltd
Another issue is, i like the freestyle nature of working relatively quickly to produce interesting variations.
