Overview of Class Over the course of this class I created two artifacts that I am quite proud of. The first was an upcycled hook and ring game which featured that Japandi aesthetic.

This week I acquired almost all of the materials necessary to create my ring and hook game. It has been challenging to find materials that match the Japandi aesthetic for all elements of the game.
