My PacMan Project

I am thinking about doing my project in either a 2 dimensional form in just a circle or a 3 dimensional figure like a sphere and make it look a lot more like what he looks like in the games. these are the pictures that show both the 2 dimensional and the 3 dimensional figures and the really only bad thing about doing the spherical one would be that it would be more fragile and it would take a lot longer to get all the pieces together. When i figure out what one I am going to do then I can start by making the armor for the PacMan. I am going to make a mid evil suit of crusader armor that looks like it has been through some wear and tear. It will have chain armor and on top of that it will have a layer of plate armor that hides the big parts and the feet and hands.  

My stained glass Owl

This is as far as I got on my stained glass owl and the main difficulty I have had with this project was cutting out the small glass pieces for the face and the top of the head for the owl. it took some time to try and find the right colors for the body and the feathers but I think that I have chosen the right colors. The part that I need to do next is take the crude cut edges to the grinder and make sure that they will fit together.  

stained glass feather

This is the final product with my stained glass feather. I put copper tape on all of the sides and then I brushed on flux on all the main points. I then solder all of the points together to make them stick together and all the pieces will stick together. 

My finished pine needle basket

     This is the finished result of my basket and all I need to do is shellac the basket and then it will be sealed together so that it will hold together stronger.  

The start of my pine needle basket

I have gotten to this point on my pine needle basket and i have to say that the beginning is definitely the hardest part of the basket to get going. You have to use a tool called the gauge. it is the thing that holds all of the needles in place while you tie them together. you then need to start wrapping them around each other while pulling more of them out. Once I start getting more out of the gauge then i start to put more pine needles in the other side of the gauge.
