noun. plural: chopsticks
a pair of sticks, traditionally made with wood, that are used to pick up food. Used in mostly Asian cultures, such as Chinese or Japanese
List:
- Metal chopsticks taken from a set of metal silverware. There are ridged ends at the bottom so that food will be easier to grasp.
- A dark colored pair of wooden chopsticks that have been covered with a layer to make the outer covering smooth. The pattern on top consists of different sizes of lines and values of the color brown to form a unique design.
- These chopsticks have a plaid design on the upper half of the chopsticks and are also covered with some sort of clear material to keep the wood in tact and smooth for holding. Taken from my roommate and has ridged ends as well to help pick up food securely.
- These chopsticks are from Din Tai Fung restaurant. Since it's from a restaurant, the quality and shape of these chopsticks are decent, but I still had to break them apart because it was attached at the top.
- Plastic chopsticks that are used to carry around. Came in a portable container as well, but it's smaller and more useful for people who pack lunch with them.
- The most basic type of chopstick, offered at all sorts of Chinese takeouts. This one was specifically from Panda Express, and has splinters sticking out because it hasn't been covered with glaze or anything.
- The chopsticks that I designed myself are originally from Panda Express, too. However, I colored them with oil pastels in all different colors and then spray fixative over them so that the oil pastels won't smudge so easily.
- Chopsticks that I colored over with compressed charcoal in order to make a "reproduction." Completely covered in black, with some wood peeking out, I also got these from Panda Express. Used the charcoal "stamps" on a piece of drawing paper!
- Paper chopsticks that I made myself from Panda Express wrappers. Had to wrap them around actual chopsticks to retain shape and will probably reinforce their shape with tape.
- "Paper mache" chopsticks that are long and large. Basically, made of paper mache, with glue and paper. WIll be used as the "main" chopsticks in my final collection display!
You should really think about what you want to say by showcasing chopsticks. Do you want to make a commentary on a specific topic like culture? For example, an artist in San Francisco named Donna Keiko Ozawa filled a whole store with disposable chopsticks to talk about wasteful use of wood.
