Tea Set To Remember
Kiki Peguero
Project Statement
My project A Tea Set To Remember is a recreation of a tea set gifted to me after my best friend at a young age passed from cancer, I still have the set and cherish every piece.
Why
I picked my project because Jamy and I were very close and I was one of her only friends. I want not only to honor her but for people to know her and remember her in all her wonder and beauty. I also want younger girls that are in the same boat as Jamy was to know they are seen and even though they might not have known Jamy personally that they aren't alone.

Sketches
Iteration I (what changed & why you changed it, and what you learned )
print to be painted on or stamped onto the pieces of the set
A tea cup and saucer that look like a strawberry and leaf to look like her favorite show
Iteration II (what changed & why you changed it, and what you learned )
Make the cup and sacure like a princess tea set and mimic a dress like texture since she loved to dress up and loved being a princess
Prototype
1) If I had more time I would make the rhino file look more like a dress using more complicated commands
2) 3D print the parts to make a mold
3) make the mold and cast them
4) glaze the pieces to make them look like dresses/ more royal tea set
Next Steps
Cancer is a group of disease caused when the bodies cells grow and divide out of control and travels through blood spreading into healthy tissues and damaging it. Cancer sees no age affecting anyone and everyone. Around four months after her birthday at only five years old my best friend Jamy passed from cancer. She was beautiful, amazing, and fun she was a princess that loved dressing up and having tea parties. When Jamy passed her mother gave me her favorite tea set because I was her only friend and she thought I should have it. My goal is to re-create the tea set given to me life size as well as adding more personal aspects of our friendship.
