Wooden Movements


Given 1 18" 2x4 and a minimum of 6 cuts any number of systems could be created. I chose to add a little movement. I kept everything very geometric in the interest of simplicity. The 'dangling' cards have notches cut in them that are just a hair larger than the piece they hang from, this allows them to turn and sway. When they are tapped they flutter like leaves in the wind giving an otherwise heavy system a certain lightness. The notches cut out of the bottom also lend themselves to that light feeling.

Hi Sweetie!
I like your use of light and wheight. It gives a good balance to the piece. Keep up the good work!
