My project stems from an empty Hornitos bottle from my birthday weekend that I couldn’t bring myself to throw it away. This left me wanting to display my bottles. I figured what better of a way than to base my final project around it. Then I needed to find some inspiration. I came across this…

So far my project is coming along smoothly. I was able to find flush round LED disks at my local home depot which avoided a major challenge for me in the electrical sense, they are color changing and come with a remote for wireless operation. I also collected an 11″ by 8′ plank of wood…

What I will be making for my final project is a dynamic alcohol display. This will be a flat wooden plate with three different spots for three respective bottles. The bottles will be lighted from the bottom with LED’s with a dynamic aspect coming from the light refraction due to the changing levels of liquid…

The general idea of my project is to create an aesthetically pleasing yet nonchalant alcohol display. I figure that this could be a cool kitchen piece that would double as a nightlight.

The intended aesthetic I have chosen for my upcycle project is bibliophilia, being related to the love of books. With this I decided that making a standalone bookshelf was a good idea. This has transitioned to a sort of ‘unsupported’ floating bookshelf with books as important structural aspects of the assembly. I decided that the…

The upcycle project progresses as it should. I have since gone to the local goodwill and purchased 8 large (over 1 inch thick) books all for a dollar apiece. Seems like a good deal to me. While I was picking the books based on uniformity to each other, there happen to be a few books…

The aesthetic that I am interested in emulating for my upcycle project can be described as Upcycled Bibliophilia. Bibloiophilia being the love of books. I have been making an effort to read much more recently and I have a small bookshelf in my room, that I also thrifted. It is not particularly nice or pleasing…

The aesthetic I have chosen to explore is Colorado skiing in the 1930’s and to the 1960’s. While skiing had existed in Colorado for a considerable about of time before, the true sportiness of skiing was beginning to take shape during this time period as the soldiers of the infamous 10th Mountain Division were making…
