Layers Project For my layers project I chose to create a topographical map that also functions as a clock. I came up with the design because I had always wanted to make a clock and I was inspired in class to create a map of some kind so I ended up just combining the two…

Altered Toys Project Finished – Madison Little
I was finally able to paint my the octopi and finish the toy. I printed five of them and painted them yellow because I wanted them to be a little different from the red monkeys but still capture the same bright colors of the original toy.

Layers Project Finished – Madison Little
I am really happy with how it turned out. I ended up staining the bottom 3 layers and then I finished all of the layers with a couple of coats of Polyurethane. I then assembled it using wood glue and inserted the clock mechanism.

I used the clay builder, polish, inflate, and slash tools to create the shape. I also tried using the chisel tool to add some hair texture to the eyebrows…

Here’s my doodle using Tinkercad. I was trying to make a dinosaur but I struggled to create the exact shape that I wanted. I did enjoy using some of the preset shapes.
Lantern Design – Madison Little
My idea for the lantern project is to make a light-up sign. I’m going to cut a design out of wood and then shine LEDs through from the back. My original plan was to make it similar to a neon sign using special LED strips however, I had trouble getting the strips so I changed…
