Here they are! They doesn’t work quite as well as I’d hoped (I need to figure out how to increase the tension on the wiper blades so they press tightly up against the goggles), but as a prototype and art piece they’re neat and serve their purpose. The goggles are standard safety goggles that fit…

Kerri Thornton: Final Projects
Project 1: The Layers Project Description: A roughly 4″x6″ 3D diorama of a painting I did last year. It is meant to be in the style of an illustrated children’s book, and features two main characters: a ne’er-do-well cat fleeing a bounty-hunting fox. Construction: Layered 1/8th” laser cut and engraved Baltic birch wood, with additional…
Kerri Thornton: Lantern Project Finished
Here’s the flower lamp! It’s about a foot tall and is perfect for my desk; my only complaint is that it is actually SO bright — I had to do a lot of work to get these photos to not look like you were staring at the sun. I’m thinking in the future I might…
Kerri Thornton: Altered Toys WIP
Update I have the pieces printed and am working on assembly! I’m deciding not to paint them because I want them to be as little of a distraction as possible, as they’ll be sitting right in front of my eyes. I got a silicone spatula that I will be cutting up to use for the…
Kerri Thornton: Layers Project Finished
This piece is roughly 6″ x 4″ ; my work in progress piece was a bit smaller and also the settings were way too high causing most of the detail to be lost, so I decided to redo it. I learned quite a bit from the first full version I made in terms of what…
Kerri Thornton: Altered Toys Design
UPDATE I have to scope this project down due to time constraints and some personal life emergencies that have arisen. This project will be the PROTOTYPE of the full design, i.e. will not have a battery or servo, but will be hand-powered. I’d like to finish the full project in the future, but for now…
Kerri Thornton: Lantern WIP
Update 3 Update 2 Here’s where I’m at right now — I’m about to sand the clay, attach the leaves, and paint it! I probably won’t have time to do it for this class, but in the future I’d like to get some fake moss or stuff from Michael’s to make a little garden at…
Kerri Thornton: Lantern Design
A delayed post, but here’s my idea for the lantern project! I have this light that my aunt gave me that I love — it’s super pretty, but the only problem is that it runs on solar power (it’s meant to be an outdoor garden-type decoration) and my room doesn’t get enough sun to charge…
Kerri Thornton: Layers WIP
Updated WIP Post: I have almost all the pieces printed out! despite the fact that I did five thousand tests, I still couldn’t get it to come out as detailed as I wanted. Long story. But I’ve got it all assembled, and I think I might just go in and add some lines where there…
Kerri Thornton: First Cut
Very late but… I chose to cut the doodle I did of a rat! (Not pictured are the zillion little test prints I did to figure out the settings). Right now I have it taped on my wall (that’s the blue peeking out from behind the arms, oops). Version that got a little too crispy,…
