Information:

While in my foundation year of art school, we had an assignment for my 3-D class to build a kite. I built a huge Campbell’s Soup Can Kite. That was tremendous. And I went further. I also built a Spoon Kite, which was attached to the Can Kite and would fly behind it; together as one. The kites are fully functional.
