Layers Project I have always been super fascinated with working with silhouettes, as well as natural beauty. I decided to create a combination of both of the, in this scene by creating a rastered wolf near the front of the piece to draw the viewers eye in. I decided to design this piece off of…

Layers My layers project went through several iterations. I started with a 3-layer design, but I eventually settled on a 2-layer design that showed off the backdrop of my project more beautifully. I based this project on the idea that trust is an expensive gift. Lantern My lantern project worked out beautifully with my initial…

Layers Project Pictured above is my Layers project. For this project I created a depth map of the ocean surrounding my town. There are four layers, and two with raster engravings. Lantern Project For my lantern project, I created an iteration of my layers project. It incorporates light by using LED standoffs, which illuminate engraved…

Layers Project For my layers project, I decided to create a design that combined my younger self and current self to signify and represent how I’ve changed over time. In this project I used 1/8″ acrylic of various colors, cut using the lasercutter, and handrew this design in inkscape. I experienced my biggest setbacks with…

Finally here! These are my final projects for this class. I had a great time making all of these and I’m honestly pretty happy with all of them. In reverse chronological order, here they are. Altered Toys Though my long Furby didn’t end up very long by the last class, I am still very entertained…

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…

Lantern Project For my lantern project, I wanted to make a lantern with a somewhat spherical shape to it. I settled on a dodecahedron because I was fascinated by the geometric pattern. After the initial design, I decided to give it a rustic theme. I picked out a hemp rope wrapped cord and an LED…

Final Layers Project For my layers design I thought of making a windows screen with multiple tabs. What I did was I laser cut this all in plywood. Every tab was cut and placed in a different layer/height. Everything was inspired by old Windows99 tabs and games. I am really happy how this came out!…

Over all I’m pretty happy with how these came out. Some were unlikely to work and experiments for learning, if it isn’t perfect its to be expected. For my layers project I made a layered version of the 3lb combat robot I was making for the final project. This came out really well, I love…

Layers Project My layers project is based on a picture of Vernal Falls in Yosemite that I took with my best friend. I wanted to make something out of paper because of the color choices, low cost, and ease of assembly/finishing. I also based this design off of the works by Hazel Glass because I…

Layers Project: Map of Monterey Bay My first project was a layered map of Monterey Bay! I made the design in Inkscape and added small details for my favorite places. Each water layer was painted with different shades of blue. I had a lot of fun with this one! Lantern Project: Diffuser Light Box This…

Layers Project for this project I chose to create a multi-layered clock with working movement and fake gears to create the aesthetic of an older open face clock. the final project came out great and is currently hanging in my room at school. the only problem with the final design that I did not consider…

Before and After transformation of my layers project. No one knew how it would look once it was assembled, including myself. I enjoy even how this simplistic idea, which was also very wood efficient, was able became something more dynamic and complex. One of the challenges was to make sure that the pieces would be…

For my layers project I created a diorama of Shin Godzilla, alongside with dilapidated buildings and the monster’s signature atomic breath. For my lantern project, I used acrylic to create a bust of Shin Kamen Rider. However, when the svg file was in retinaengrave, it changed all of my engravings into cuts. And for my…

My first cuts project ended up being one of my favourite pieces so I’m including it here too! This was just a simple vector drawing of my character Rosencrantz with raster engravings for shadows and colour difference. My layers project was based on the idea of an anatomical model that shows the skeleton under the…

My layers project was made from frosted acrylic and wood. It is a “alien” tree, and the leaves glow when a light is shined on it. My lantern project was cut in colored paper and wood. It’s based on the song “Ptolemaea” by Ethel Cain, which has a very horror vibe. I’m very happy with…

Lantern Project For my Lanterns Project I decided to make a night mountain scape out of laser cut clear acrylic panes and a wooden laser cut kerf bent box. I also designed and 3d printed a base to mount the acrylic panes and house the led light strips I soldered together. The lantern is powered…

The first project that we did in class was making drawings in Inkscape and cutting them on the laser cutter. I chose to do (from left to right) one of the robed figures from Inside Job with writing instead of shadows, Travel Hooty from The Owl House, and a code-generated design. The second project was…

I’m pretty happy with how my lantern turned out! The edges need a little refining, but I plan to use opaque hot glue and sandpaper on it when I get home. Otherwise, I like how it looks!

After many attempts I was able to finally get the project to a state that I like! Someone in class recommended to move the paint tab a little so that it was also on top of the youtube tab so I did! I also did the engravings on the windows wall paper. I am very…
