https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhZULM69DIw
Summary: This project I combine 3d printing, laser cutting and coded embroidery together to reflect my imagination and the pictures I took for California.
I created 5 models for the 3d printing which are “Los Angeles Egg”, “Ice cream Penguin”, “Space Pot” ,“Balloons Monster” and “Palm tree”.
One laser cutting board named “California Dreaming”.
I also created three coded embroidery which are three “Broken hearts”, “Christmas Palm Tree” and “Shooting star”.
Inspiration:
My work is inspired by the song “California Dreaming” and the photo I toke when I with my friends travel to the California. I want to create an artifact that can reflect the photo I took and also find the relationship between the technology and the vision of the reality.
Research
Process (weekly updates and next steps)

Week 5: Created My first 3d model by Thinker cad called “Los Angels Egg” and also created the Laser cutting file” California Dreaming”.
Week 6: The first Critique and rebuild the 3d model to achieve prefect printing.
Week7: Created new model: “Ice cream Penguin”.
Week 8: started to use the laser cutting and 3D printing in real. I use 3D printer to printout my “Los Angeles egg” and “Ice Cream penguin”.
