I had decided to put the nails and staples into small mason jars and set them next to each other in a circle (five jars on the outside of the circle surrounding another jar in the middle). I thought about using one large mason jar, but I had thought about how many nails and staples it would take. I wouldn't be able to gather enough of them to fill one large jar, so I decided to put them into small jars instead. I am still uncertain whether I am going to have enough staples and nails to fill all six jars, but I may add more to them if need be, regardless of whether the due date has passed or not.

For the home project, I am playing with the idea of using the staples and nails that were used on telephone poles to post fliers of all sorts. I am thinking of finding a wooden cylinder and piling the staples and nails on top of it, possibly surrounding the pole with fliers. I was always curious and somewhat fascinated with how some of the poles have hundreds of staples and nails in them, leaving almost no room left for others. I feel that it shows the dynamics of the community as well as expressing how many events or interactions can be going on. Each nail and staple are their own separate event, and when brought together it also brings all of the events together in the community, thus the community itself is brought together.
For the sculpture I had most of the pieces constructed, but they were not attached together yet. I had the most trouble with attaching the big cones to the box, and had finally settled on creating a tin-foil paper mache that would be glued to the box for support. I had been looking for a small vinyl disc to use for the record, but am happy with the wire. I think that the wire gives the sculpture a better feel than if I had gone with the vinyl.
