I've been recruited to make a Haunted house

I have been recruited to make an Alien autopsy room for a Haunted house in Tucson, at an abandoned court house.

I have made some new friends to work with

Erin Christiansen and I went to Home Depot for supplies!

The ply wood was so big, the only way to fit it in my car was to hold it about our heads.

I have a lot to do in here!

 

Fish decal

After heavy use of the decal maker tonight, I used my left over white vinyl to make a decal of my fish tool. It looks so cute ^_^

Ingress shirts & decals

I stumbled upon the Ingress community and thought I could make swag for them.

The following is

• 2 shirts with Team Enlightened.  
• car size decals. Green, blue, & white. 
• Large Smart phone case sizes. green, blue, white & black
• smaller iPhone case sizes. green, blue, white &  black

I made white and black so you wouldn't have to show what side you are on, and could be safe from opposing team rivalry

my version of a Hoberman wheel

my ultimate goal is to make an expanding mobile. but first I have to figure out the expanding part. My inspiration for this is the hoberman sphere toy. 

I took the left over styrene from my summer classes, and cut out rectangles.  Then I started putting them together.

So far so good.

There are 30 X pairs.. I may have made this one too big, cause it can stretch longer than my arms length.

One of my classmates decided to make a coral around my chair. I think he tried to trap me in it.

How I make a pen holder

After I made the Wooden coasters, I still had time with the laser cutter.  I decided to make some pen holders and capture the step by step process.

 This is a machine that creates enough heat on a single line of space, that lets you bend acrylic precisely.

 This is a bending station. It lets you choose and set any angled degree from 0 to 180

I glued blue pieces of acrylic to the orange pen stand to give it a 3D look. It looks really cool!

Tucson Coffee Roaster Coasters

There is so much left over wood in the Tech shop this week. I wanted to explore all that I can with it.
I continue to use the Tucson Coffee Roasters logo. Experimenting with the rasterize strengths.  I was able to get many different engraving effects

I gave these to the owners for free.

Neon gear pendants

I liked my first gear pendant so much I wanted to make more. Here are the makings of 3 different ones. I bought anew purple colored acrylic and I put holes in the large gear.

I managed to put one together in time to give it to an Instagram friend

This is what it looks like with black light on it

 

Ingress shirts

I made the grey one the night before and I made the white one today. There is a game app out there called Ingress. I hope I can sell these to the players.

I was able to get on a laser and quickly make a Harley Quinn dog tag for a friend.

I cant believe someone put these in the trash. I have 6 tic-tac-toe sets. If I can find a table at a park I'll put these there for whoever to find.

Ironman Mirror

I have had this idea for a while now. As soon as the mirrored acrylic pieces came in the mail, I knew where I was going after class!

 Holy crap it worked!

I had enough material to make two of them. Now I have to figure out an epoxy and possibly a way to hang them on a wall.

Tucson Coffee Roasters pen holder

After learning there was a way to bend this plastic, I HAD TO TRY IT OUT!

The only thing that came to my mind was a pen holder. I etched the back of the acrylic, so I had to reverse the image. I'm glad it looks fabulous

I put the finished product over an LED strip. It looks so much more amazing with colored light!

Practicing with acrylic

I found some scrap quarter inch clear acrylic to practice a friends logo.

 It does a really cool thing with light.

After many attempts I like this look. The only thing I don't like is the burning.

I hope I got my raster numbers down.

I made about 8 different ones, but I took a pic of the ones that made the cut.

Baby Brontosaurus Tinysaur

While in class today I had the idea to make a series of "Tiny dinosaurs" and call them Tinysaurs.

This is my attempt at a baby Brontosaurus. This is the first creature where I drew up ALL of his Parts. nothing was copied, it was all hand drawn, scanned, re-drawn in vector lines, laser cut, BOOM, I made a baby dinosaur!

They look adorable! I want to design two more baby dinosaurs and add them to a pack. and sell them as a set. Because why not?!

Baby T-rex Tinysaur

I bought a wooden puzzle kit to make a lizard like dinosaur, I just put his head together when I saw that if I added legs to it, it would be the cutest baby tyrannosaurus Rex ever!! so I re drew some of his parts and cut him out of card board

He looked so adorable I needed to make a friend!

They kinda look like the land Tremors in the 2nd or 3rd Tremors movie.

A lady brought her puppy in. They had a DEATH MATCH.  puppy won.
