SHOWCASING CRAFT
I BELIEVE CRAFT IS A REFINED SKILL, PASSIONATELY CREATING SOMETHING WITH YOUR HANDS THAT IS PERSONAL TO YOUR OWN UNIQUE STYLE.
THE FINAL MODEL:
THE FINAL MODEL (PICTURED ABOVE) IS MADE OUT OF MATTBOARD SCRAPS, LAZER CUTTED DIRECTLY FROM AUTOCAD AND MOUNTED ON A BEAM TO SHOWCASE HOW IT WOULD BE PRESENTED IN REAL LIFE. |
PROJECT 1: THE BIRDHOUSE
WHEN EXPLORING THE IDEA OF CRAFT, THE FIRST PROJECT WAS THE BUILDING OF A BIRDHOUSE FOR A CLIENT. THE CLIENTELE FOR MY BIRDHOUSE WAS THE LIMPKIN, A LOCAL BIRD FOUND IN THE NORTH TEXAS AREA. THIS PROJECT WAS AIMED AT MAKING A BIRDHOUSE FOR THE AREA SURROUNDING OLD ALTON BRIDGE IN DENTON, TEXAS. DURING THE MAKING OF MY BIRDHOUSE, WE EXPLORED THE CHALLENGE OF MAKING A FUNCTIONAL HOME FOR A CLIENT WITH HIGHLY SPECIFIC NEEDS WHILE ALSO HAVING IT STAND OUT AND GIVING IT THAT MODERN LOOK. IN THE FINAL VERSIONS OF MY MAKE, I CRAFTED AN 11-FOOT-HIGH BIRDHOUSE TO FIT THE LARGE SIZE OF THE LIMPKIN WITH INTRICATE ROOMS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE LARGE FAMILY AND DIFFICULT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BIRDS DIRECT FAMILY.
