FRACTAL - Final Prototypes & Packaging

This prototype is made out of a 12"x12" tyvek sheet with cherry wood veneer triangles glued on both sides of the sheet.

The other prototype has magnets on both sides.  On top of the magnets are wenge veneer and styrene. 

The packaging is a square cardboard box lined with foam.  The sheet is folded into a 6"x6" square and placed in the box with a plastic top to cover it.  The sheet is flat on 2 sides and then folds up to showcase how it transforms.  The box is made to represent a "picture frame" and the plastic is a window showing the product.

Inside the box are instructions on how to make a 4 pointed star.

Finished! (Videos Coming Soon...)

Bah! that was a lot of work. Videos coming soon! (They're taking a while to render and upload) We're so thankful for everyone in the class, our teacher Carl Boyd, and Marbles for providing this contest we could all be a part of! Thanks so much for all of your support.

Cubes Underway! (stay tuned)

Our cubes have come in, and are now sanded and ready for staining! Sanding 36 cubes with 1000 grit paper takes the "wind" out of one's thumbs...

Basically, stay tuned this week.

Folding Art Developments

After our play parties, we listened to all the suggestions and critiques and took them into consideration when further developing more prototypes.  Here are some folding art sheets in progress exploring different materials and color:

Smaller triangles can create even more shapes.

adding color and using styrene

adding magnets

Solitaire Cubes Advancements

As we embark on our final revisions for the Marbles project, we have begun to explore some new ways to work the tower, and its box it will fit into. Remember those cool cases you get with your set of Mahjong and Dominos? Yea, thats kind of what we're after.

We also are adding in 3 card draw, just like the real game
