Final Update: 100%. I am finished with the memphis milano mirror frame! It took me a lot of work to complete, but I am very satisfied with the result. I initially started out with two sheets of plywood that I drew on since my previous idea of a cnc machine doing some of the work didn’t pan out. I then cut out the middle hole with a hand saw (cut the frame in half to make it easier), followed by cutting out the outside, and then cutting a bunch of different pieces that I was planning to wrap in fabric later on. While I was doing that, I did use a cnc machine to cut out a small divit from the larger plywood which I used to lay the mirror into. Then, I wrapped some of the pieces but found out that I also wanted to paint some for a second texture, so I painted about half of the pieces instead of wrapping them. After I decorated the wood pieces, I did a “dry setup” where I placed them in a general position so I could pick up the pieces and hot glue them without messing up the positions. Finally, I hot glued the middle for a “caulking” effect and also glued the back for more support. Overall, I am super excited to show it off tomorrow!

Above is the link to my Unrlr Journey for my Final Project (May be a journey inside of a journey on accident) that details my entire process with more information. Below are some photos detailing the final outcome, my ideation process, and the physical work that went into making the mirror.
