My project utilizes natural processes as a tool in the design methodology.  My first item is a lumineer that engages the growth of sugar crystals to manipulate the quality of light created from a fluorescent lamp. My second item is a set of tactile flatware.  What elevates this set above any other is that the foam positive for the mold has been sculpted by a mouse.  In order to best prove my thesis, I utilized two opposing processes to achieve the same goal.  The first, crystal growth, is an additive process, the second, mouse consumption, is a subtractive process.  This unorthodox, sustainable approach to design proved to be successful.
