It features two controller pads for each player (2) to use and are touch sensitive, which requires the the players to

Lily Flower Lamp
I crocheted a huge Lily flower with some smaller flowers to make a lamp. In the “stems” of the flowers, I hid the wires that connected the LED lights in the flowers to the power source inside the boxed “ground.”

Knight of the Pen
This was my first 3D print project for my Digital 3D class, where I utilized Blender to create and pose my model, and printed it using an Ultimaker 2. I initially made the model in a T-pose, so that I could later add a skeleton rig and pose it. This method was very helpful as

Frog’s Glowshroom
The final project for the Digital 3D class. I decided to create a 3D printed mushroom decorated with little frog figures. During the design process, I decided to also make the mushroom a lamp that would create this magical and whimsical feel when it lights up. I modeled the mushroom base, stem, and cap, along

Lily Stand for Stone Frogs
Another project from Expanded Media 1, where I was assigned to make a functional wooden structure made to hold something. I chose to make a small display stand for my rock frogs that resembled a lily pad, with some creative liberties. This was done by creating paths on Adobe Illustrator that were sent to a laser

Cat Vinyl Intervention
My project for my Art 284 class, Expanded Media 1, where I was assigned to use a vinyl cutter to create an art installation utilizing the environment around it. In Illustrator, I drew paths for the vinyl cutter to follow. Since the vinyl cutter can only cut on one colored vinyl at a time, I had
