Character Design This project is an introduction to three-dimensional abstraction and woodworking whereby the designer is challenged to create a character of unique design using geometric circles, triangles and squares. The project is enhanced by assemblage with the use of hardware fasteners to emphasize facial characteristics and other features.

Initial drawings of three possible geometric critters. The right drawing was chosen for further development.

Design development drawings of selected character. Each drawing shows different standing options for the bird.
