I've relocated a lot, so I try to build an instant sense of community by designing random creative objects at community makerspaces. These are my people! The creative types who are eager to learn maker skills such as laser cutting, 3d printing, sewing, resin casting, metalsmithing, printmaking, ceramics etc. Here's a collection of some of the work I did at community makerspaces
Shoutout to The Rivet and The Makery, my favorite makerspaces in State College, PA
LED light bookmarks designed using LilyTiny (Arduino type microcontroller that can be sewn in)
3d printed and handprinted Maker magnetic Badges
Lasercut Finger puppets - MDF cutout with hand-tied yarn hair
Metal-smithing foundations - sawing the sterling silver cutout and soldering pieces
3d printed "Tooth Bat" toy. An alternative tooth fairy,
a bat that likes to eat fallen teeth and offers coins in return
3d printed geometry puzzle
