Steph's Topography Map

This project, I wasnt sure entirely what material to go about making a topographical representation. After some thought, I made the decision to work with wax and heat. I made a base for the 'map' using tupper ware the size of my topographic map guide to fill partially with molten paraffin wax. Once that was cooled, very carefully I built up layers to make up the mountains of the Adirondacks. Unfortunately just before critique, I dropped the final piece, shattering the top layers of mountainous terrain. This would explain the fractures to any edges in the pictures. I regret I hadn't documented before this accident, but I'm still satisfied with the end product despite it's imperfections.
