More and more penne

Gettin' my penne on again. Mainly because I went to the local IGA and in the true IGA tradition they have ridiculous types of various foods that people look at and think "Well whatdoyaknow, they have it like that" but veer to the side and grab their usual..in this case, who the hell wants miniature ribbed penne pasta or wholemeal pasta. I know people out there like their wholemeals but while I do these pasta things I tend to eat the uncooked pasta..and wholemeal tastes like dog food. Yea, I do know what dog food biscuits taste like. We had a dog when I was a kid, so of course..I'm gunna try that shit. But I'll clarify, it tastes like dog biscuits, not the wet slop.
Also find it interesting that Coles only sells the smooth lovely penne pasta but Woolworths only sells the ribbed penne pasta, which pisses me off, particularly when I need the smooth stuff urgently and there's only a Woolworths around. Both supermarkets don't have the fantastic 6-8 packet of super glues for $2, instead having the 2 packet of super glue for $5 claiming it sticks to anything. So does the $0.25 per tube Chicken feed stuff, I've stuck my fingers together many a time with both.
Though the stuff from South Yarra misc $2 shop..every now and then you'd get a tube that when the glue dripped on your leg it'd burn the shit out of your leg. But it stuck the pasta together so what's a burn here or there.

Bigger

Playing with layering the separate pasta objects.

I want to cover an entire area, a LARGE area with this and have it back lit. There's been suggestions of making it come out of a wall, making a wall in itself or covering a surface or pillar. Gotta try these. Will be fun.
Also suggested that I should colour it. I really don't want to. I feel that painting the pasta will make it look too much like a macaroni picture or childs play and retract from the beauty of the natural material.

The sun behind the pasta is really quite beautiful. I thought I'd lose some of glow the more I stuck together the pasta, but it's still there. And now that I think about it, there's no reason why it would disappear. It doesn't necessarily get thicker, just wider. The object is as wide as the pasta is.

Sadly this pasta object broke in half today as I moved it into our life room at Uni. A little pissed off about it, but oh well, I can make another just as easily. But this one will never really be created the same again!
