For the hand-cranked generator I used our hand-cranked ice cream maker, set it on a furniture dolly and covered it in metal flashing.

The lighted sign needed to look like it was made with materials they would have around a vineyard. I made the letters from scraps from the last show I worked on. The background was also shop scraps - made to look like pallets. I love the way this turned out!

The old-timey cash register is made with a wood base. I used foamcore to make the upper rounded face and the window that shows the amount of the sale. There was a random crank laying around the shop so I incorporated that into it too. The panel with the buttons was printed out and spray mounted on.

The camera was probably the most challenging. I figured out how to make the bellows out of black paper. I used cardboard, cardboard tube and craft paper tape to form the rest of the camera. Thin metal rods connects the front and back sections and allows them to move. I used my "real" tripod, attached some wood slats and taped the lower legs with brown duct tape.

For the wedding cake I made the cake shapes out of foamcore. The pillars are wooden dowels. One of our interns Ivy did a great job decorating it with plaster and caulk.
