I want to make a half mushroom, cut in half. It would be hollow in the cap where a little light will sit and some wooden pieces of some critters. In theory the light should shine though the back projecting the creature shadows to the wall so from the front its just a mushroom lamp…

For my lantern, I am making a wooden box with designs cut out of each side. I am still working on fixing all the lines in Inkscape, but here is what I have so far. It will have the XO Chi Omega on the top, an owl and a skull symbol on opposite sides, and…
Lantern Project Final Calvin
Here’s my finished lantern! The original concept was to add an element of Tiki vibes to my apartment’s home bar. The lantern flickers like a candle, but uses LEDs and a microcontroller. I think I’ve done a pretty decent job of adding some warm, subtle lighting to the shelf. I designed the baseplate such that…

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…
Layers Final Calvin
Here it is! The concept of this piece was to create identical layers and utilize transparency and lighting to create a sense of motion and depth. This was my first time working with edge lit acrylic so it was a great opportunity to experiment. The soldering on the bottom of this piece ended up being…

Here’s the working design for my lantern. I have a 3D printed base and pillars holding in wood on four sides and a top plate to keep the pillars at the right distance. The 3D printed part is structurally a pretty awful design to be honest and it will make most 3D printers cry but…
Lantern Design Calvin
It’s time to get our Tiki on! I plan on making a rectangular lantern that resembles a Tiki head. I’ll illuminate the inside with some LEDs so I can get a fire look without lighting my apartment on fire. The base and sides will be a 3D printed part and I’ll use glue or something…
Layers Update: Haley Gilbert
Yesterday I finished painting a stain onto the layers of my topographical map and I am beginning to assemble it today! How should I use the wood color to represent the land? Wood stain or paint or leave as is?

I ended up revising my design a fair bit but the inspiration is still there. I ended up theming my lantern around older nintendo systems such as the NES, SNES, N64, and Gamecube. The pieces are shown above. The top will be a general nintendo logo. Each side will have an engraving of the physical…

Here are some updates I have for the progress I have made to my lantern. I have my final SVG files I used to cut the pieces and a picture with a sample of a couple different pieces I have cut out. Below are screenshots of the basic layout I have created in Inkscape for…
