For my design class, I was tasked with the construction of a mood box. A mood box expresses your moods in a visual, 3-dimensional form. I have chosen to construct my mood box out of fiberglass resin. I am using the resin to build the box because of it's translucent nature, which I intend to apply into the design of the box.
The design was inspired by what my other half wrote about me, and by Minas Morgul, one of the towers in the Lord of the Rings. Here are some pics of the work in progress... ;)

The cast resin plates will be assembled to form the mood box sculpture, and I intend to install some lighting using LEDs and a battery pack. More pics coming soon!
