This is the original project that I had planned on creating. I got pretty far alone on this project, but didn't plan it out well enough as it was not strong enough for a lasting structure, did not include all requirements. In the end the 4- day break dried it out more than I hoped and it fell apart.

These are the photos I used to reference for my signatures. These are the different artists that I wanted to include and are definitely my top favorites.

This was the first day working on this project. I began by rolling out very large slabs of clay that I would use to cut out all of my major pieces for the vinyl stand. I had to roll out the clay multiple times to finally get it to be as large as I wanted. This was the beginning of the whole project.

# data[].attributes.body
I used one of the more narrow slabs to begin to cut out my letters. This process took a long time, but I had to be very specific with all the details and found myself re-doing letters if they weren't exactly how I wanted. I used two slabs to create this and it is a focal point in my project and is what I based my whole project around.

This is the rough sketch of all the autographs. This took a very long time and I found myself re-doing them and moving them to be exactly where I wanted. The clay was a bit too soft at this stage so it was hard to carve clean lines. I waited a few days for it to harden up then went back several times to clean the lines up and make them as close to perfect as I could.

These are what holds up the main slab. I originally made it way larger than I really needed to but, cut it down to be the perfect size and shape to hold up the autograph slab at the angle that I wanted. I smoothed out the triangles and let them dry for a few days so they were strong enough to hold the slab without bending.

There are a few steps in between this that I haven't shown yet, But this is when I connected to two main parts too begin the finalizations of the stand. This step was really important because the pieces were very fragile and I didn't want to break either of the pieces. I ended up having to slip and score these together again because it wasn't strong enough.

This is when I connected the triangles to the back to hold the slab up in the angle that I wanted.

I spent an entire period going over the signatures again and trying to get them as clean as I could. I put a lot of time into making these lines clean because it is the focus of the project. This is after I touched up most of them.

This is after going through all of them for another time. I still ended up going back again and again to clean up the line but this is what it looked like for a few days. I used several different tools to deepen the lines and clean up all of the edges.

I didn't take many pictures while I was rolling out these slabs, but this is something that came to me later as I needed to add more height to the project to meet the requirements. I brainstormed many different ideas but this one is what I loved most because it is a place where I can hold my other vinyls when they are not in use.

I wanted to include more open space in my project. So, after a few days when the open box had time to set I sketched out wavy lines to pop out of the sides.

This is what it looked like after I popped out the cuts. I then spent time cleaning up the lines and edges to make a more finished look.

I love the detail and look that these cut outs gave to the box. It made it look much more intricate and added so much detail.

This is what the final box looked like. I also have several supports along the side walls and inside of the box to make sure it doesn't cave in while it dries. I still have the supports in the box but removed them for the picture.

These are the final images I took of my project. I loved the way that it turned out and I'm so happy with the way I executed the ideas that I had. This is a very functional piece and something that I have wanted for a while. The vinyl stand on the top has the purpose of displaying a vinyl case while a record is in use, and the open space box underneath is going to be used to store more vinyls. I didn't connect the two pieces because I want to be able to glaze them separately and even have the option to separate them and move them around once they are in my room. The nine different signatures that I included on the large slab are some of my favorite artists and are special because they are all concerts that I have been to or are upcoming. I love the way this piece turned out and I can't wait to see it after I chose how I want to finalize it.
