You don’t win them all

2 inch Sotich Shield kite, spring floral tissue.

Yesterday I wrote about an experiment that didn’t entirely satisfy me, but it flew.

Today I get to share a complete fail. For those of you that don’t know me and the way I work, a piece of work doesn’t get called a kite, until it flies (no matter what shape it is).

The kite above was my second project of the day, because the piece at the left did not want to fly. Which disappointed me, because I’m having issues finding graphics from this napkin to work with.

I’m not certain exactly where I went wrong, after all I had a very similar piece work fine last week, but whether it is too small, doesn’t have enough dihedral, the line or tail is too heavy, it just doesn’t work.

Oh well, you can’t win them all. However I did want to share my view on kite as opposed to art.
