Wall Piece CUT!

Remember those computer drawings? Here it is. The final laser cut steel wall piece. It is approximately 15"x10"x4". It is riveted together with brass tubing. I am super happy with this piece. Everyone loved it. It was the perfect addition to my body of work. Ponoko was great. They helped me every step of the way with the file and with shipping.

Laser Cut jewelry

These are my laser cut drawings brought to life. All cut out of acrylic and made into jewelry. I am in the process of making more to sell.

Here are some images from my exhibit. It went so incredibly well! Chris Irick, the Metal/Jewelry professor from Pratt MWP took a look. She enjoyed it. I am so proud of myself. Finally, I feel accomplished!

This is one piece to my wall piece that will be laser cut. Essentially, I want to create a dome effect with two hemispheres bisecting one another. The next part is figuring out how the slot and tabs will work, or whether I scrap that and rivet it somehow.

POST CARD!

here she is, my postcard!

laser cutting

I am lucky and get to experiment with the laser cutter in the Tech Dept. I learned how to use the machine. I will be cutting out acrylic earrings in the machine. Also, I will create a smaller model of my wall piece to figure out how it will work when it is in steel. SO MUCH TO DO.

These designs are based around tape worms. I have to stick with my theme, so I abstracted them into simpler and "prettier" forms.

Nose plugs

Here she is. My baby nose plugs. These are etched with a lace texture. I wanted to make a pair of fashionable protective nose plugs. They are meant to protect you from the hundreds of diseases that can make you ugly, sick, and gross. However, when you put these in your nose, they distort your nose entirely. They also look ridiculous in the nose. So it is more of a mocking idea than anything.
