What is it?

                  For our idea we have applied some elementary science to construct a creative and artistic piece. This piece will turn heads and draw positive attention in any setting. It is a vase that has 22 individual tubes for holding flowers, as well as a central vase that can hold a bouquet.  What makes this piece especially unique is that it allows you to add individual colors to each flower by dying the water in the vase’s individual tubes. You can have a total of 23 colors, 22 for individual flowers and one color for the central bouquet. This is great for arranging centerpieces and can even be helpful in creating themes such as red, white and blue.  The vase is striking enough to be used without any dye as well, creating a great glass-sculptured piece that will add character to any flower arrangement.

Creation Process

                  All parts and materials were gathered at the SWAP program held in the basement of Sellery Hall.  The materials we used were 1 flask 15 small test tubes, and 7 medium test tubes. Other materials gathered but not used were 1 beaker, 1 box of transparencies, 2 large test tubes, one test tube holder, a plumbing fixture, and 2 air filters. The process of fabricating this product was relatively simple—we first hot-glued the test tubes onto the flask to make an appealing design. We then filled each individual tube and central vase with water. The last step was to add food coloring until color is noticeable in the water.  It takes about 1 day for the flowers to completely change colors.
