Tumbaga Kamay The Hand of Gilded Copper This project was extremely fun! I found the process of actually cutting the material to be interesting and well worth it. Although we ran into some problems with the machine at first, we restarted it, and the water jet started cutting. The setup was fairly simple; I just had to tighten the screws, and sanding the barbs and filing the tabs was fun too. I found the process of folding to be quick and simple. I feel like I should have made more of an effort to make a more interesting design though, but for what it is I'm happy with how it turned out and how the pieces fell in place, I just have to be careful of the sharp point!

 Clock Design Sketches I. The Time Gear This was the first idea that popped into my head when I first heard we're making a clock for a project. A time gear from the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games is not only fricking cool, but it also looks perfect for a clock. It works thematically and gives a design that I know will be tough to make, but will be perfect to try out. Since the gears are 6-pointed, it was perfect for a clock, and the flares and designs are so interesting to me. this is 100% the top design for me. II. Volume Beta Basically started out as a hexagon to get the 6 points. But I enjoyed how it ended up, and it reminds me of the cover for C418's Volume Beta. III. Roll for Initiative  A D20/Icosahedron from DnD, it's a perfect die, and from the top point of view, it turned out to be a hexagon. which makes the 12 points clearer. I ended up making the hands a d6 and a d4, respectively.  IV. Rose Quartz Oscillator I wanted to do one of D12, a Dodecahedron. I thought i...

High Five ( but I missed 😞) The print turned out well, I think. It came out how I expected it too but I found the process of folding it difficult, most likely the material.  I had to make some very important adjustments. I need to make the stand larger to support the body, and be prepared to bend the actual fingers properly with full copper. I'm happy with how it came out though, it's not perfect, and it's not making the right pose I wanted it to, (In fear of it breaking off, cause it's so stiff!) I think the main idea worked, and I'm happy to now have someone to high-five when I'm bored and by myself fhdjkfdh.  

 Lazer Cutout I thought this process was fairly simple; I didn't have to add any outer flaps because they were already at the bottom. Making the crease lines had the same process as the one I had to do in a previous class. It was fun to redo this, though, and to make sure I had a fitting page! As a fun tidbit, I made the rendered texture more blue-ish green to give off that oxidized copper look (even though I know our copper won't oxidize) :0
