“My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. Then, I drew the inside of the boa constrictor, so that the grownups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained.”The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint Exupéry.

To experience at best the wood workshop we were asked to thing and design a wooden toy/car. The things we needed to consider where the possibilities of the workstations machines and the maximum size of the wooden blocks.I chose to make a machine inspired by a fun and insightful chapter of the Little Prince. My car had the shape of a hat, or even better: the shape of a snake that just ate an elephant. On the top of the car I made 3 cuts that function as pictures/paper holders.
