It’s the last Fab class. So sad! I’ve really enjoyed it. It was certainly worth waking up early! This week I made a moire animation box. Moire is a style of animation built on static line based images. The top layer is transparent and creates the optical illusion of animated frames when passed over the … Continue reading Moire Animation Box
This week we were tasked with creating a project that was made with at least 40% of two different materials. I decided to focus on something that did not require electronics. I spent 4 days of the week in away for Canadian Thanksgiving so I knew that it would be ideal to choose a project … Continue reading Hand Carved Wooden Stamps
*** NOTE for Tom Igoe, if you’re reading this*** This project was for Fabrication but it carried a lot of the same principals that we cover in Physical Computation so I’ve posted it on my pCom blog as well. For this assignment, I decided to execute an idea that I’ve had for a couple of … Continue reading Lost & Found Bots
** Note ** Ben Light, if you’re reading this, I made this project for PCom but there are a lot of parallels to this week’s Fab assignment so I’ve shared it to my Fab blog as well. This was originally for Tom Igoe to read. Hopefully my other Fab enclosure project comes together tonight! Moving to … Continue reading the small victories box
Today I polished off the zoetrope. I began by connecting a few breadboards together to create a length that would support enough super bright leds to accommodate the length of my laser cut slides. Then I hooked up the leds and programmed the sequence in arduino. I did a quick test by holding a slide … Continue reading Simple Zoetrope Part 2 – Completion
I’m trying to make a zoetrope out of four frames of animation. I’m using this gif as a reference point. I separated out the images and traced over each one in illustrator. Then I tried to laser cut them onto pieces of green live edge acrylic. It was all going well on Monday night until … Continue reading Simple Zoetrope, Part 1 – Progress
I created 5 identical bud vases for my WK 2 assignment. Truthfully they are irritatingly not identical – this project proved to be more challenging than I expected. The bud vases came from an idea that I pinned on Pinterest years ago… I decided to make something like this, using 5 small bottles, isolating each … Continue reading Mitre Cuts Are A Lot of Work
I do my best work at night. It’s when I have the ideas that I’m most excited about. Often times this enthusiasm will actually cause me to get out of bed to make a quick prototype of the idea before returning to sleep for the rest of the night. In this moment, I find … Continue reading Wearable “Flashlight”
