Footbags from a different world: Candy Bag

With this bag I incorporated small three-sided pyramids between larger cubes. It has a total of six cubes and eight pyramids totalling 68 panels, which is a very unusual number. Of all the footbags I've made, there's never been a 68-panel!

This one sports a nice burst of colors that bring to mind a bowl of candy! But the Candy Bag is not a great kicking bag in any sense. It was made for aesthetic purposes and not functional ones. That said, it is OK to kick and you can have fun with this bag.

Cool looking bag..

Hey I'm gonna be up near Ft Collins next week.. got any disc course recommendations?

Edora is probably the best course up there. Otherwise, you could go to Ft. Morgan with two other really good courses, Optimist and Pessimist.

Thanks

Beautiful shots of the bag here, I love the wood sphere made of cubes and pyramids behind the foot bag made of cubes and pyramids :) You say not great for kicking - too much inconsistency as far as how it will fly depending on where you kick it with the different surface shapes?

Yup, you nailed it. But I knew this one was not going to be a great kicking bag so it was made purely for design. I made the wooden sphere in the photo, too. It was a hundred times harder to make than the bag... I've made four similar wooden spheres (one a pretty cool lamp) and had to consult a math professor at university in Copenhagen to calculate the angles between pieces where I put the dowels! Without correct angles between the pieces, you couldn't complete even a quarter of the sphere... it would be impossible to close up.

I salute to your made footbags, they are awesome!
