Many Hyperbolic bolas

Hi!

This is Chelsey. She is wearing one of my bolas on her head.
That's not what it's for!
But it turns out that it might not work for what it is for anyways.

Me and my friend Alice went out and tried throwing two of my new bolases around. (the one that I posted last post is still in my room)
It was fun. I took out some branches, feared I would throw it into traffic, and generally got them all tangled up in branches.

Now the effect that I was going for was to wrap around a branch, much in the way a bolas swings around someones legs.
These pictures are of the two different bolases I have made (in addition to the one I showed last post)

(I like this one. It wrapped sorta good)

But whether it's because of the yarn or the rocks being to light, it didn't quite throw the way I had hoped. I couldn't quite get the momentum I needed, or the control.
Practice makes perfect. I will make more and see what happens. Either way, they are fun to make.

P.s. Here is my friend Emily trying to use my awesome Sword umbrella to see if you could knock out the first toss (which went wild and ended up as such) of my bolas I made. Seems like you can't XD
