Refection 

For this assignment, I want to show the Chinese culture through the design. I created auspicious clouds and the traditional Chinese meaning of  double round things and lucky number 8.  At the middle, I use Chinese letter 福, it means blessing. It will bring good fortune to anyone. 

The working process, it was very fun. It was the first time to learn the machine to cut the wood.  Use the different function of machine to design the shape I want.
