My ideas so far for my inside segments of my orange are: (aiming to have approx 7 but will depend on the measurements once I actually start making)
1. Segment based on the weight of an orange, will weigh the same as a whole orange rather than the normal weight of an individual segment
2. Sand paper on the outside of the orange to create a texture that appears to be the orange skin but is rough to touch not smooth as skin is dimpled in, sand paper is opposite (dimpled out)
3. segment that plays with the idea of the action of peeling an orange (needs developing)
4. Using a material such as cotton buds cover parts of the segment to make it feel fluffy, duplicates the idea of the white stuff on orange segments having a 'fluffy' like texture.
5. playing with the idea of segments being filled with liquid but it still seeming quite dense. Will probably use substance such as sugar (also represents orange as they are sweet) so when the segment is shaken it seems as if something is 'sloshing' around inside.
6. Idea that when you peel an orange it gets underneath your finger nails so have a segment with grooves that put your fingernails in, possibly made out of plaster or similar material
7. Idea that the outside skin of the segments is actually quite see-through and it is the inside that is very orange. Use clear plastic to create a piece that you can see through to the orange substance on the inside (which will be something like ornate tissue paper)
8. Playing on the squishiness of segments will use materials such as cotton buds possibly covered in a balloon to re create this texture
9. playing on the idea of how kids use segments as 'mouthgaurds' for fun, possibly make a segment out of bits of actual plastic mouthgaurds (however, this idea is less about the PROPERTIES of the orange)
- these were the ideas I was able to develop enough to now have ideas on how I would actually go about making them and what materials I would use. I now want to try get some feedback from people to see what ones they think would be the most successful.
