Well: Odin has a tiny pink plastic soccer ball, which got me thinking about geodesic domes. I thought I could make one, like the soccer ball, with hexagons and pentagons, out of bamboo and rubber tie. So at the market, I found rubber tie, inner-tubes cut into ¾ inch wide strips about one meter long, for 200 U. shillings for each strip. Rubber tie is one of the puppeteers’ essential raw materials, which we regularly scrounge as dead inner tubes from bike shops. Here, someone already did that, and cut it up, and sold it to the “hardware store” who sold it to me. I saw thin rubber strips used to make brooms--bundles of grasses or fine plant material of some sort. They are used by the sweeper bending over in half, in a way Americans can’t comfortably bend, to clean outdoors and in. I got a start on the dome top before the sun set today.
