Project 3: Bottle Cap Lampshade

17 March 2008

Our assignment was to make an everyday item out of used bottle caps. Today we got into partners and decided on our design for our object we would be making. Katrina & I decided on making a lamp shade for our design and below we have included the total steps and time it took to complete one lamp shade.

Step 1: Boiling the white and blue bottle caps



Step 2: Drilling holes through caps and tying them with old fishing line to a used coat hanger




Step 3: Glue down final ties and let dry!

19 March 2008

Today we presented our ideas to our teachers and got feedback for our final model. I think for our final model Katrina and I will make another lamp shade with only white and blue caps, and maybe some larger colorful caps. We will have to find a substitute for the glue we used but I think we will still use the used fishing line and possibly a used lamp shade wire instead of a coat hanger.

Final Product

Terracycle will be very excited to see our idea for bottle cap lampshades because it is not hard to manufacture and will in the long run be good for the environment. Our lampshades will be able to be reused over and over again using the same materials or the materials can be recycled into different items.

Project 7: Doors, Walls & Bathrooms

Frvegetables Presentation Board

For about the past month we has been drawing patterns of our produce we selected, and below is my groups final drawings. Our group decided on the name Frvegetables because our produce consisted of both. My individual board title was "Eggstatic", Hanna's was "Five Star", Katrina's was "Nutty Professor" and Ben's was "Nirvana". We based our design around the concept of a seed branching out.

Project 2 (part 2): Nature & Tools As Teachers

For the past month we have been drawing patterns, altering the patterns with tools and creating 2D and 3D statements from our produce. Below is my process from my 2D model to my final 3D statement, I created these models from the following pattern of my eggplant leaf.
