Finalizing project

To finish up my project, I spent my 20Time working on my presentation, making a trifold poster including the successes of my project along with the steps I took to make my lilypad. I also included the obstacles that I faced with this project and how I overcame them, along with a copy of Nicks story and how he inspired this project all the way in Californua.

Lilypad take 2

For my 20Time this week, I completed the finishing touches on my lilypad, painting the eyes on it. Since I made the lilypad with much thinner wood than the measurements said in order to see if I could make it for a more affordable price, I decided to make this my prototype. This week, I made another lilypad, this time following the measurements and dimensions that were sent to me so it will be safer to ride on. I cut it out with the bandsaw and painted it with a brown base and blue on top to make it look like a frosted doughnut.

Finalizing lilypad

For my 20Time this week I worked on the final design for my lilypad. To make it look like a ladybug, I fist drew out what I wanted it to look like in pencil. I then painted in the dots I drew with black paint, only needing one coat this time. I then painted the ladybugs head at the top of the lilypad, also in black. Lastly, I began to plan out what I want my final presentation to look like, highlighting the steps I took to get to where I am now and the challenged I faced and how I overcame them.
