Progress on Lamp Project

I'm using sheer silk chiffon, wire, an embroidery hoop, and a light fixture from Ikea. 

Here's progress and different views. 

Face Treatment Project

To have at least two alteration, either on the face, points, and sides. 

(I'll add the animation later!)

Metamorphosis Project

For this project I decided to do a monocle turning into a pair of glasses. Below is a sketch trying to work out how the metamorphosis would go. 

I used Sculpey and cut out plastic for the lenses. 

Here is a fast version of the animation.

And here's a slower version.

Container Project

The outcome!

back view!

Progress on Container Project

We have an assignment where we have to use recycled materials to make a container. I decided to make a dress out of paper bags because technically a dress contains the torso for a women. 

Here's some notes on my plan for the dress made out of recyclable bags from Whole Foods and Trader Joes. It'll probably close in the back with a clasp like cereal boxes have. And here's a progress shot. More to come when I'm finally done. There's only half a skirt to go.

Archimedean Solids

First there was the one from the worksheet made in class:

The Small Rhombicuboctahedron

•  26 faces:(8 equilateral triangles & 18 squares)
• 24 vertices
• 48 edges

And then there my pride and joy that I spent an all nighter on! We were suppose to make another Archimedean Solid, but with a design that would work with it's shape. On the bottom is the net I used to make the shape, from korthasaltes.com. On the right is a mid progress shot. Drawing the net out took more time because I miscalculated the first time I started it. To make the triangles and the pentagons I needed two separate compasses. On the net the radius of the pentagon is a different size to it's side, which is what determines the size for the triangle. 

Polyhedral Structures

We had to practice making shapes with Bristol board with excellent craft. 

The Tetrahedron

• 4 faces (each face is an equilateral triangle)
• 4 vertices
• 6 edges
• the simplest of platonic solids and yet strongest man made structure.

The Hexahedron (The Cube) 

• 6 faces (each face is a square, all angles are right angles)
• 8 vertices
• 12 edges

The Octahedron

• 8 faces (each being and equilateral triangle)
• 6 vertices
• 12 edges

The Dodecahedron 

• 12 faces (each regular pentagons)
• 20 vertices
• 30 edges

The Icosahedron

• 20 faces (each an equilateral triangle)
• 12 vertices
• 30 edges
