Here are my first cuts, kinda to see where I started from. I had never used the laser cutter before so this was super cool. Here is my layers project. I really love how it came out. I like the colors I added and the depth that comes from the layers. Underneath is my Lantern…

Altered Toys WIP Critique – Amanda Jones
I was able to get into the lab and use Solidworks to create my fidget. I am planning on using a ball bearing to make the top spin. I have also added a screw fidget on one side of the bar and a magnet fidget to the end of the staff. As seen below I…
Altered Toy Design – Amanda Jones
I was obsessed with Percy Jackson as a kid and always wanted some of the stuff in the book. I wanted to model Poseidon’s trident and make it a fidget spinner. I don’t have access to CAD software so I drew it up but I will be using the school’s resources to design and print…
3D Doodles Geometric – Amanda Jones
I was just getting used to and playing around with TinkerCad and I wanted to create a little sea monster toy or something. I know it goes below the bed but I wanted to give it the illusion it was also underwater.
Lantern WIP – Amanda Jones
For my work in progress, I am working on getting to the laser cutter, it has been hard with my schedule. I incorporated the hole for the wire for my lantern and finalized where the cracks are going to be in the lantern.
Lantern Design – Amanda Jones
I wanted to emulate cracks for the lantern project. The red is going to be a light engraving and the purple would be a deeper engraving. The light is going to come out of the cracks like the engraved example that was shown in class. I will be putting in a lightbulb to get a…
Layers Project WIP Amanda Jones
I wanted to emphasize depth in nature. This is not a finished design, I would like to add more details to the mountains, but I wanted to redo my old design and almost simplify it. I have to finish up the rays and make sure they make sense on their own as a solo layer….
Layers Design
I was really inspired by the forest layer piece we discussed in class. I really liked how each element was a different depth of the forest, had its own color and texture, and really showed what you would find the deeper into the woods you go. It also gave it a very mystical kind of…
First Cut – Amanda Jones
This was a super cool experience! I have never used the laser before so I really enjoyed it. I only had the time to cut out Drawing 1 but I plan to cut out Drawings 2 and 3 soon. I really liked how it came out, I only used 30 power for the drawing. I…
Drawings 2 & 3 – Amanda Jones
For my second drawing, I wanted to do something that made the engraving feel real and added depth to the piece so I used it to make the shadows on the sand dunes in this drawing. I really loved the movie and thought this would be a cool way to depict it. I was messing…
Drawing #1 – Amanda Jones
I decided for my first drawing to do a tracing of me and one of my best friends Alyssa. This was on a trip to Cape Cod and we thought it would be cute to take a picture with the Chi Omega symbol (as we are both in Chi O). We have made some of…
