Sensory and Experience Design Souvenirs

Souvenir designed based off an Indian classical dancer

Referenced from a Gemmy plush snowman toy which I used to have growing up.

Tangle fidget toy is attached onto carving as arms. Arms are adjustable and can be made into different configurations.

Translating front and back view of toy onto the oak wood.

The Pandemic has made us become more creative, here I drill out the shape and split the wood with chisels. 

Wood was carved to with a Dremel rotary tool. 

Base and the carving was handmade.
