Looks like crap

So I worked on the umbrella today for 5 hours because I really wanted to finish it. Unfortunately, I did not finish it.

I started ironing all the panels together into the giant hexagon shape. One of the major problems I ran into was that as you layer more and more plastic together, it gets really stiff. Stiff is not something you want when making an umbrella. So now all the panels are attached and the thing looks pretty much like trash. I'm going to keep on going with it despite its terrible asthetic. Tomorrow I will finish it so I can enter it in the student exhibition on Monday even though it is kind of embarassing. Oh well. Hakuna Matata.
