It is a paper mache hand that will slide out of an LEDed portal

This hand represents the consequences of your actions because Coraline made a bad decision

My goal is to create a representation of the book Coraline by Neil Gaiman

Conceptual Precedent

My conceptual precedent is for the wooden base. I liked how the hand stood out visually against the brown color.

I got my Technical precedent from this picture because I thought I could make something out of paper Mache.

Technical Precedent

I found this video about how to make paper Mache

Paper Mache is a way of making something by pasting thin strips of paper on to a frame something.

To do it you dip the paper into the paste and then plaster it onto the frame to make what you want.

Sketch

Before I decided to make the base out of wood this was going to be the 3d print.

This figure was made in Tinkercad

Iteration 1

This is my first attempt at making a box to slide the hand through, but it was too small.

Box iteration 1

This is the start of my wooden base.

Base Iteration 1

I used popsicle Stikes to make it then glued them together.
