Tri State Area

During the 4th quarter, I did not come down to makerspace much because I had other school assignments going on. I did paint another stool white and I have a sketch laid out on it, but I’m not sure if I’m going to keep the sketch yet and paint it. The current sketch I have is like a squiggly checkerboard pattern with alternating flowers, faces, and hearts in the squares. I won’t be able to finish the stool and paint it this year, so, I’ll probably finish it next year! I think this is the last stool I’m painting for a while because I’m getting tired of painting stools.

This quarter in maker space I worked more on my crochet business. I did a LOT at home to improve my etsy site and make it more organized. I crocheted a lot, even if I wasn’t in the makerspace. Here is a picture of one of the animals I made. I really only crochet something called amigurumi. It’s a type of crochet that works on top of it’s self to create 3-D objects. I usually make animals, but you can create replicas of objects or even people.

Ryan and I engraved the Yu-Gi-Oh card Des Frog onto a flat wooden sheet. We did this because the sheet essentially functions as a big card. The reason we chose this card to do was because it’s a frog and those are pretty cool. The process was simple and easy since we have experience doing this before.

I chose to do a vinyl of Handsome Squidward because he is a gigachad. I worked on printing out the vinyl with Ryan because we do most of our work together. I’m not incredibly comfortable doing the vinyl so Ryan helped me a lot with the technical aspect of it so we got it done and I’m happy with it.

I made a sticker of a the golf brand callaway. This is brand of clubs I use when I play golf. So the process of making one is you find a picture you like. Then save the picture you want open the sticker machine program. Turn on the vinyl cutter and then put the vinyl in the machine and press cut. And wait for it cut out.

I made a squid ward sticker with Adam first we found a picture and then we save it to a file. Then we put in the sticker machine program. Then we turned on the sticker machine. And put the vinyl in the machine and then we printed it out. SpongeBob is one of my favorite tv shows.

The process of this chair was I found it in rundown and paint coming off. So I decided to paint it black. I took the back of it off and filled the holes with wood glue and chair shaving. And that’s the process so far. Come along for the journey.

I made earrings using the computer and the laser. First I chose the design, second I made sure the shape was right, lastly I printed it. The loop was very small, so I attached hooks to them with tweezers. I’ll paint the earrings later.

This quarter I have not done as much in makerspace. I did paint two stools and helped Alex a bit on a stool she is working on. I got the idea to paint stools because I have always wanted to paint one of the stools that are in the art and science room. Painting one of those stools has been something I’ve wanted to do since I was in like first grade, so, when I found two in Mr. Mitchell’s room that were completely blank I decided that’s what I would do! The first stool I painted has a lavender background with orange flowers, that have yellow centers. I knew I wanted to do floral print and I mixed up an orange color for the flowers, then Kate gave me the idea to do a lavender background. I really like it because it has a nice contrast. The other stool has hearts on it. I’m not that happy with the heart stool, I might re-paint it but I’m not sure yet. I am really happy with how the flower one turned out though!
