Today I finished the basketball hoop. All I have left to do is make the basketball hoops and glue the New York City buildings. Maybe some extra decorations too. We are almost done!
Today I worked on making a new picture and had some new ideas on what to make. I am going to make a big frog head and sash that has some patches of some things that Darel has accomplished.
Day one
DAY 2
Today I tried to sew a piece of fabric together to make a sash to represent the accomplishments that Darel has made. I just had enough time to make part of the sash but tomorrow I will sew it all together and make the sash.
Today I got my foam balls. I cut one of them to fit the bigger foam ball that will be represented as the head and the smaller one will be the eyes. I also learned how to sew together my sash aka a piece of cloth that is going to hold patches. Tomorrow I will hopefully put together my balls and make a head and maybe even paint it.
Today I worked on making a poison bottle out of foam for the sash. I also worked on my mid review and finished 4 pages.
Day 4
On day six I mixed blue and yellow paint to make green paint because they did not have enough green paint. I painted the frog head and made two more patches I think that it is coming together very well.
Day 6.
On day 5 I cut a hole in my Big ball and a small hole in a small ball. Then I put in a wood stick to make it more sturdy
Day 7.
Today I finished up the last patches and I think they look good. So here is what it looks like.
I plan to create a laser printed box showing the Ring of power from Lord of the Rings. This idea will come to life because the letters on the ring will glow in real life.

Day 4
Today I worked on clarifying my project. I decided to make a note card explaining the ring of power and why it is important.
Yesterday during class I laser cut an emblem of Middle Earth. I decided to do this so my project is more connected to my book. Today during a study hall I completed my summary of my book.
Day 5
Today during English class I thought about what other laser cuts I could do for my project. I am not sure what to do but I will think about it next class.

Day 1
Day 2
Today, I finished painting The Fantastic Eyes. I also put some fabric inside the box that I laser-cutted. I don't know if I want to glue the fabric or keep it stuffed like it is now. All in all, I am making great progress for Fessy Con.
Day 3
Today, I did not have a very successful day. Because I tripped and injured my knee. I made a cool LED strip thanks to Nathaniel who helped me out. But otherwise wise that was all I did. Therefore, I did not have the day that I wanted.

Today, I glued my words that I laser-cut on to my box. I also put my LED that Nathaniel made in my box. Overall, a great day.

Day 7
Today, I finished my project. I glued both of my texts onto my box. And it looks very nice. I want to do a couple of things to my box.
On the first day of the Fessy Con project, I first sketched what I am going to make and what kind of material is going to be needed. And then I started collecting materials . Then I started building the handle and 3D print some part of it. And then I laser cut the blade.
Day 2
I redo the 3d print and remake one and I also finish the laser cut the blade and put it on the rapier.
After doing the laser cut, I am thinking about making more and finishing the blade tomorrow. I also enhance the handle too.
The blades
Day 3
I make more laser cut of the blades because i need more to build them and the Popsicle stick I use is too big. Also, instead of using the 3d print as handle, I choose to use Lego to built it.
