my beautiful creations

Image
 i present to you my lovely collection of objects over the semester, from my sentimental bench to my beautiful son Plingus!! starting out we have my voxel project, based off of a bench that was made in remembrance of my good friend Kennedy, featuring the good ol' beer tree my friend Twix has been watering with a CL smoothie  After the bench came the castle, where I decided to create a castle from a story I'm working on. the goal was a pristine castle made of porcelain and gold, something that looked like it could not exist in our realm.  overall i'm pretty happy with how it ended up turning out!! after that was my pride and joy, the coaster project. never in my life did i think i could be so excited about a coaster, but here we are. Because of my joy and whimsy and inability to make things easy for myself, I made my glorious glorious Pysanky egg coasters; six coasters that nest together like matryoshka dolls and finally, we have my magnum opus: Plingus.  he's the sil...

Plingus my beloved

Image
  when it came to the 3d object, i made my glorious son plingus isnt he glorious???? there were a few tweaks i hat to do for my original design, mostly tilting his head down and resting his head on his knees so he has proper supports and his poor little nose doesn't die After that, I took the file into slicer to double check that it worked, and added a second internal layer. the body of plingus, as well as all the slicing tests and modifications were done by me, while the hat was modeled by my project partner. he ended up having some stair stepping on his nose, but i still love him and all his flaws. i plan on making him little plants to put in his hat so its like a little pot. he is the most joyous fellow

week 7: egg coasters with a twist

Image
 I was so incredibly pleased with how my final design for my egg coasters came out. I spent so much time prepping the files properly for cutting, and making sure they read as the pysanky coasters of my dreams. once fully hatched, this is how the plan looked. however, when it came to cutting the pieces and booking an appointment, I ran into a little bit of a roadblock...  said roadblock being moving. I was given four days notice before I got my keys, and only had 24 hours to move everything out. said 24 hours starting at 4 PM on Tuesday, which is so conveniently the day before our class. because of this, i was unable to get my coasters cut before the class. my bad divas.

week 5: the egg coaster

Image
 Growing up, my grandparents had a glass vase full of Pysanky eggs; a type of Ukrainian easter egg made with delicate wax lines and dip dying.  this is the aforementioned vase. when it came to making coasters, I wanted to make something that incorporated my heritage, while also being an interesting coaster. And thus, the pysanky coaster was born. the coasters will be a set of 6, with 3 different sizes. Each smaller piece will fit within its respective larger piece, and the two largest pieces will snap together. This idea came from the matryoshka doll; while it is Russian in origin, these meticulous stacking dolls were all over my house growing up.\
