Porch Hogwarts Display

Reimplemented as a laser-cut design in 2019.

Christine set up a large Hogwarts silhouette display in the front window. Underneath, it was a bunch of Amazon and Blue Apron boxes, with a layer of black tissue paper decoupaged to the surface. The original version of this in 2018 was designed and cut entirely freehand! That one did not survive the year, so we decided to reimplement this in 2019 using a more replicatable design. I started with a silhouette from an image search and turned it into a vector. From there, I simplified some of the design and stretched it to better map to the measurements of the front window. I sliced that into smaller tiles that can fit on the faces of the Blue Apron shipping boxes. Like everything here, the designs are in the GitHub repository.

I also took the opportunity to reprogram my porch lights to randomly shift between the four house colors.

While a little bland in the daylight, it really pops after dark!
