Nouveau Butterfly Collection
This was a personal project I did for the SADA Marketplace event at my university. I used the Glowforge laser printer to cut and laser engrave clear acrylic. The design of the butterflies came from old graphics for a typography project I did a year ago. The curvy and flowing design style of the wings was inspired by the art nouveau movement from the early 1900s.
Not only did I really enjoy participating as a vendor in the marketplace event, but I am also very grateful that I had this experience. This was my first time making and selling something that I had made, and it made me very happy to see others appreciate the work I put into what I had made. I hope to participate in more art showcases like this one going forward.
The Butterfly Box
When brainstorming what I would present for the marketplace, I knew I wanted at least one big item as a centerpiece, and I thought what better way to showcase the design than a full butterfly box that lit up from the inside. While the idea was great, I do feel the execution needed a little more work. There were multiple problems with the adhesive of the acrylic, so I am actually glad that this item stayed just for show and was not sold.
