PUSHING THE MATERIAL TO THE LIMIT

For this week I wanted to make several drawing machines which all draw a circle. I want to experiment with the speed of drawing. I want to test how fast the machine can spin and still draw a circle. The first object I made was a clock. I added a pencil on the mechanism. Every minute the tool draws a new circle. Actually the pencil was to heavy for the mechanism, so I didn't get a perfect circle. I really like the uncontrolled dots of the ink.

The next object I made was from a toy with a small motor in it. I attached a pencil on a wire an turned it on. When the pencil is making circles it vibrates a bit so you get a very nice pattern in the circle.
