Illofriday....play...



well, not the greatest but yes it is on time and just made it too! i had this great idea in my head to use some real playing cards for an art piece, but nothing was coming to my mind that matched the things i was picturing. then, at the last minute, this one came to me. it is one of those ball and cup games from back in the day. that little game where you would spend hours and hours trying to get that ball to flip up in the cup. i figured if i made this simple little toy out of the playing cards, then it would be a little closer to the idea i was trying to portray. so here it is, play for illofriday. hopefully next week will be better! enjoy.

ps. the entire thing wouldnt fit on the scanner and the pictures i was taking werent coming out good at all, so this one had to be cropped a little.

I like the idea of using the cards. Great concept. Id love to see this recreated digitally, it has a lot of potential!
