I used these as a sketch model to test how sharp an edge I could make after heating the acrylic, how well it would keep it's form after being heated, and especially with the spirals I wanted to see how sturdy the pieces would be after heating. The result was actually quite surprising to me, I thought the acrylic would be a really brittle material and might shatter when it was heated - but it was more like rubber, easily moulded and very strong once it was set. I did manage to burn my fingers a whole lot though. Very sore....
