TP: Progress and questions
After consultation with Prof Ina, we have decided that the cut outs worked really well for the project and suggested that I should continue with all the other 3 with cutouts.
I scanned them before I taped the pieces together.
These 3 will make 1 set for “branches”.
for the second set, i decided that i Read more →
