Week 15: Wildcard

This week, I worked on creating something using a digital fabrication technique that hadn't been discussed in the prior weeks. While doing so, I listed the standards my assignment satisfied and provided all the information needed to duplicate it.

Selecting what to do

During this week of wildcad I going to make a water fountain and a concrete pen holder.

A concrete pen holder:

1. A pen holder is a stylish and functional desk accessory designed to hold pens, pencils, and other writing instruments. The sturdy construction of the pen holder ensures stability, preventing it from tipping over and keeping your writing tools organized and easily accessible. With its sleek and minimalist design, a concrete pen holder adds a touch of elegance to any workspace, whether it be a home office, studio, or corporate environment. Its durable and timeless appeal makes it a popular choice for those seeking a unique and contemporary desk accessory.

A water fountain:

1. A water fountain is a decorative feature that creates a soothing and tranquil atmosphere in any indoor or outdoor space. It typically consists of a water basin, a pump, and a sculptural element that disperses water in a pleasing manner. Water fountains can be made from a variety of materials, including stone, metal, and concrete, and come in a range of styles and sizes to suit any decor. They can be used in both residential and commercial settings, adding a touch of elegance and serenity to a garden, courtyard, lobby, or living space. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, water fountains also provide the added benefit of creating a calming and relaxing environment by producing a gentle sound of running water.
