Thought Model

As I take my final exam of the year I'm leaving you guys with my final projects in Design Thinking. My design thought model. Encausted tree branches adorned with old lace, book pages, bark and leaves. Just a few of my favorite elements to work with :)

Polaroid as a Purse?

Rather than study for the math exam I have in less than an hour, I'm choosing to blog about some new finds. 

I picked this up the other day for less than two dollars. It includes an old manual and some flashbulbs but no camera. I might try to sell it on etsy, it would even make a neat purse. Any thoughts?

Shakespeare into a Chair

I've been neglecting this blog lately due to both exams and the incredible weather. Walks around the rose garden, cookouts, and popsicles needed to take place. Anyway, here is my final "planar" chair for my final studio project.

A Bit of the Work I've Been Doing

For this past project we were instructed to build a chair with linear elements that could support two pounds. Here's the final rendition of my blossom chair. In honor of spring of course.

Detail.

We were then instructed to do the same but with planar elements and here's the first take. More photos to come...

Additional Earth Day Notes

I just had to add this.

A clever someone put a square of grass in the middle of studio. Happy Earth Day everyone!

Earth

This past weekend downtown Raleigh held an earth-week festival. My friend's band the Huguenots played with Violet Vector and the Lovely Lovelies, a throwback to the 60's. Their music is so free and fun while they wore adorable earth-day wreaths on their heads. Something I will soon try myself.

It was 80 degrees outside and these have to be the cutest girls I've ever seen, enjoying the music. Have a nice earth-day!

Beautiful Day

Not much time for an incredible post but I just wanted to document that...

it's a beautiful day! Enjoy it. Now I'm off to studio...
