My lantern project ended up being more of a sign then a lantern. I really wanted to make something that would fit the project but also be functional so I went with a sign because my roommates and I have been trying to figure out wall decorations for our apartment next year. I am really…

My lantern project, created using Solidworks and printed in PLA, embodies a nature-inspired theme with geometric flowers. To enhance its visual appeal, I painted the exterior and interior in contrasting shades of blue, adding depth to the project while preserving its simplicity and symmetry.

Finished my lantern! My design is a box with cutouts on each side with various images/words depicting my sorority, Chi Omega. The letters chi and omega are on the top and the words Chi Omega are on opposite sides. Two of our symbols, a skull and cross bones and an owl, are cut in the…

The concept for this piece was to make something hive inspired, as my ID2050 is about bees and beekeepers. I wanted to make a hexagonal lantern with more hexagons throughout it and a bee logo on the middle hexagon. I think it turned out well and I like the shadow it projects when near a…

For this project I wanted to showcase crows and their fun and quirky behavior. I chose to have a crow with a tool picking at a tree, a pair of crows cuddling, a crow flying, a crow with a marble in its mouth, and finally a skull. I was careful to include five living crows…
