My design for Miguel and his room was intended to be stylized and true to scale. It felt necessary to make the world appear hand crafted.

Some progress documentation:

Clay lamp with installed led battery and tissue paper lamp shade

Paper clay sanded down

Oven baked bed frame

Oven baked curtain rod

Carpet made from cat scratcher

Basswood

Little wooden chair: balsa wood, felt and foam board for cushion
Clay and wooden beaded toys coated polyurethane
