Week 6: Mouse Taxidermy

Week 6. My favorite week 6 ever. I am really proud of you all for mastering your fears, staying late, making some lovely mice and winning the best of show in the Parsons CDT Taxidermy Tourney. Better luck next year Sven. As a general rule, bring your ‘A’ game when the Home X class of 07 is in the lab.

Thanks Canida for teaching us what we needed to know about mouse taxidermy here, here and here and to the entire class for conquering your fear. Here is the result. Best students ever. Flicks courtesy of Yasmine. Big thanks to Phil for coming to the class.

Check out Vaderlin’s terminator mouse tutorial. Everyone else post your flicks and tag them “mousetaxidermy”

The next assignment is to come up with an idea for your midterm project. The mid-term assignment is to make something for yourself or for your home. As opposed to a class project or exercise. Make something you will actually want to keep, something you’ve always wanted to make but homework kept getting in the way. Now it is your homework. And you must show us all how you made it on the web. We will give each other feedback on our ideas next week. Your mid-term presentations will be during week 8. If one other person promises to make something edible and bring it to our week 7 class, i will as well.
