For my first cuts I created a lighthouse trinket! For my layers project I created a map of Maine where my family vacations every year. I used three different wood stains to replicate the different elevations of the coast line right next to the ocean. I am happy with how this came out and am…

I will start off with the layers project, since that is the first project we did. I was inspired by a lake in the Adirondacks that my family vacations at every year for the past 50 years, Raquette Lake. I used a map from the DEC website and traced the different depths of the lake,…

LAYERS : Futuristic Barrel Cactus For this project I wanted to create the sort of fake cactus you’d find in a recreational space ship in the future. LANTERN : DND Campaign Vibes My lantern is inspired by the characters in my current DND campaign through Barovia. ALTERED TOYS : Evil Legos I wanted to create…

Altered Toy This piece was created to be a delivery truck for medication. Taking your meds can often seem mundane, but this toy was designed to make it a bit more enjoyable, an experience instead of just a task. The small man pictured is the driver, and the truck has a fully functioning trunk and…

My first two laser cuts are below, one in vector and one in raster! I freehanded both of these with the pen tool. Next is my layers project, I looked up pictures of dolphins as a reference to draw and painted each layer with watered down acrylic to let the wood pattern show through! For…

Hello there, here are some projects I have made through the course. The Beast I would say this is one of my favorite art pieces so far. At first, I just want to sketch some archeology concepts as I was inspired by Katsuya artist, then I just made him a character out of a sudden….

Layers Project: Instead of having a 3D project, the idea was to use layers to make a painting. This was accomplished using 3 separate layers and traditional Japanese printmaking techniques. Lantern Project: After changing the initial plan for this project,, I decided to make a 3 walled lantern with detailed patterns. It is made out…

LAYERS PROJECT: Design: Originally I wanted to make a design where I could make different constellations and then utilize the layers to add depth. This eventually evolved to include a tiny astronaut’s mask. After test printing the layers, I decided to add planets in the reflection of the space suit. Once the printing was complete,…

Well the time has come, and all of my pieces are (almost) done. The Projects All Together: Layers Project: I am happy to say the layers project is finished. I ended up using clear Elmer’s glue to piece the project together and finished the accompanying base. As an additional piece, my friend assisted in making…

I have had a great time taking this course and seeing the amazing creations all of you produced. Hope everyone continues to create! Enjoy this catch-all of my work I made 🙂 LAYERS PROJECT: My idea for this Alice in wonderland layered piece was inspired by the comic art style of Mitch McGee. I was…

Layers Project My concept for this project was to create something nature like using wood. One of the first ideas I had was to create a koi pond scene from above. I loved the idea too much to abandon it so I just had to figure out how to bring it to life from there….

ANGEL FIREBIRD LIGHTBOX PENGUIN

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…

Layers Project For this piece I was inspired by an artist named Hazel Glass, who creates beautiful artwork made of layers of paper. My design was based on a conch shell and then expanded on with patterns and random designs. Creating the layers of this piece was easy, building from the bottom up over a…

Layers Project – Wooden Drop For this project, I wanted to capture the moment that a water drop hits a body of water. I find this moment very beautiful where it is the intersection from the energy of a single drop spreading and dispersing into a lager body. I am using wood to capture the…

Here are my final projects. For the layers project I created a piece depicting two penguins in an icy landscape. Made with layers of painted wood and clear blue acrylic it consists of 4 different depths and a variety of pieces. For the Lantern project I made a Japanese inspired house shaped lamp using designs…

Layers Project: This project was inspired by artists we looked at in class that had the final design only appear when all the layers were alligned ‘just right’. I took a photo of myself in a dance pose, then drew all the flower layers and cut out the silhouette of myself. The end result was…

Layers Project: The original concept for this piece was the center circle with the 3 raindrop beach scenes at different times of day. The concept then expanded because I didn’t like the final exterior shape of the circle around the raindrops. The concept expanded so that the circle with raindrops was actually a pearl in…
