The Smiley Face Project


 These are pictures of all the progress that we have made on the smiley face project. We took measurements of Alex's torso and his height and then we cut out a circular piece of cardboard and painted all of it yellow and then we painted the face on with black paint using the crooked smile and eye placement. then we took another piece of cardboard the same size as the face and we put them together with small cardboard pieces. We put them together by using too much hot glue then we started working on the arm armor and the hat. We decided to use an overlapping method for the armor and the padding on the helmet. We put the arms on by taking yarn and putting hole in both pieces of the project and tying them together.

My stained glass owl finished


My Stained glass owl is now finished and the only thing that I had to do over was that I had to grind a little off of the sides and the top of the eyes. I used the foiler to put pieces of foil all around the edges so that the solder would stick to the edges of the glass. Then, I had to put flux on all the contact points and then heat up the solder and have it drip onto the edges. When it was all done, I had to wash it off and rub wax on it with a cloth.
