Starbucks Coffee Stirrer Sculpture
An e-mail I received from James Jacobs:
I was sitting at a Starbucks several years ago stirring my coffee and wondering where my life as a Constructivist sculptor was heading when it dawned on me that those 7 inch Starbucks coffee stirrers, if a guy had enough of them, would be an ideal material for my work.
Modeling Materials
Complete instructions here, as a 225K PDF file.Studio The result, many years later, is an entirely new geometric structure system composed of twisted coffee stirrers, the Spiral Geometric System (SGS). The SGS has now been shown to actually model molecular structure (photo attached), and I'm in the process of writing a book on the SGS, "A Geometric Foundation for a Contemporary Philosophy of Nature". I guess you could say thanks to Starbucks we now have the first new geometric structure system since the discovery of those of the circle, square and triangle.
Spiral Geometric System (SGS) Good luck on your new weblog.

Yikes! That's great.
