Layers Project: Layers Map of Penobscot Bay The concept for this project was to make a layered map of the ocean depths around the coat in Maine where I learned to sail. If you can spot “Smith Cove” in the upper-right hand quarter, that is the cove I sail around every summer. And the little…

Iris: Altered Toy Project
Here is my first 3D print of “Plumpkin the Pumpkin.” As you can see, the trees under the right arm did not work (or print at all apparently), so I will need to redesign and reprint. I wanted the print to be orange but there was no orange in an Ultimaker 3 printer so I…
Iris: Altered Toy Design
Thinking about childhood toys I remembered this funny little beanie baby that I had gotten around Halloween.. All I remembered was calling him “Plumpkin the Pumpkin” I know I needed to alter him someway but I was sure how would make sense for me… then (with my moms help) I remembered I was obsessed with…
Iris: 3D Doodle
Bummed little blanky fella in a park who just had his ice cream fall. This reminds me of the second scene in Despicable Me, iykyk 😉

Iris: Lantern Design
For this project I really want to use acrylics and since there needs to be light I’m really excited to try to LED lit side of acrylic type thing. I have made a design that will have three layers each with their own color. Which color is depicted in my inkscape drawings may not be…

Iris Morin: Layer Cuts + UPDATE
Hi Everyone! Here are my current designs for each layer, blue and black are vector engraves and red is vector cuts. For my first cuts on this project I ran into many more issues than I anticipated and was only able to cut out layer 40 and 80. As you can see layer 40 is…
Iris Morin: Layers Design
Bathymetric Map of Penobscot Bay For my layers project I will be creating a 20×20 inch 3D rendering of Penobscot Bay in Maine. Penobscot Bay was an easy choice because my mom’s side of my family owns a converted 1800s Bed and Breakfast in Brooksville that has been in our family now for a century….
Iris Morin: First Cuts
Hi y’all! Here is my Cactus for Drawing 1: I added the flower to have a whole through the design and couldn’t part with the positive part of flower so I added it to the arm. And here is my rastered Iris Flower for Drawing 2: Lastly, what I call Nautilus Shell for Drawing 3…
Iris Morin: Drawings 2 and 3
Hi Everyone! For my second drawing using only rasters I made an Iris flower design. For Drawing 3, I used the p5 code to make this design. It reminded me of the ocean creature the Nautilus! While I was making my p5 design I was playing around with the rotation line and I was really…
Iris: Drawing #1
For my first drawing I wanted to draw something that has meaning and could go on my desk so that I could see it everyday. I decided to bring back the cactus from one of my paintings in my first post. It wasn’t until recently that the cactus got more meaning to me than just…
