oil lamp base design numero uno


ta da! this was my first base design. like the nifty lil logo i decided on? i also have some really sweet newe designs i've cut out of plexi that i can't wait to photograph and put up on here next (now that i finally have my camera back!). they lok pretty space-agey, i think.

The Camera's Complete!

Whew! Finally! I've been finished with this for a week now and it was driving me crazy that my car was locked and i had no way to get my digital camera out of it! but here they are! and now we're just awaiting my first roll of film from gentry's photo shop, my first pinhole shots should be ready for pick up on saturday :)

Sad Face

I finally finished my pinhole camera last week and took plenty of photos of it to share with you guys but now i can't find my digital camera! :-(
However, did end up taking the pinhole version with me hiking on Dragon's Tooth near Roanoke and I think I got some good pics! but I'll have to wait til the film gets developed. Until then, here's a few cell phone shots of the beautiful views!

3d rendering!

My first successful rendering in Rhino! I feel so accomplished! This will (hopefully) be the metal cap that will hold a wick in my next industrial design project: an oil lamp! Not sure if I'll actually be able to make it on the CNC machine, but if worse comes to worse, I may improvise with a metal icing decorator tip.

Attempted Chinese Dumplings


If you haven't noticed already, I'm a bit obsessed with Chinese food. Its probably the best comfort food ever. But i realized the chinese food was taking a mean bite out of my already limited pocket book so I decided to put away the take out menu and make my own dumplings (my favorite). It was tricky and they ended up looking a tad misshapen but were GREAT! And now I've got about 50 in the freezer ready to be fried up in a moment's notice- and all under 10 bucks!!

another threadless design in the works :)


This is the design i've been messing around with for the Threadless Hearts Coffee competition
but i think it needs a little more "OOMPH!" maybe a lightning bolt? and call it "liquid energy"? hmmmmmmmm
