Maps/Diagrams

I selected different organs and parts of my body and drew diagrams describing what they do in a humorous way. I outlined them in colors to make it pop, but kept the overall look simplistic. 







I am very interested in origami so I created a grid and drew the different points of the origami shape of a bird. 


I highlighted the states I had been too, states I wanted to visit, and states that are too cold for me to ever want to go to. I chose a color scheme that fit well together.

Wax

I wrote down Beethoven's love letter and put it in an envelope. The wax seeped through the paper and made the words visible below. 


I carved an ear outline into wax, playing on the word earwax. 


I put a shell into the liquid form of wax and let it cool so only the top part showed. 


I made a wax cupcake. 


I poured the wax onto the coins and the imprint was left behind. It's hard to see in the pictures, but you have to turn the wax the right way in the light.

Newspaper

I transferred newspaper onto my fingernails.


I drew a school of fish in pen.


I thought to myself, what if a newspaper was more fun looking? I added multiple design elements and highlighted/connected words that are important to me. 


I have lately had an interest in origami so I made an origami fish to go along with the school of fish I drew.


This is an origami warbler bird. 



I made a box that contains smaller newspapers that I made.




I rolled up newspaper strips into separate rolls and then tied them together to look like a bundle of wood logs. 


I thought how one of the rolls looked like a time capsule so I cut it open and stuck a scroll inside.
