Tree pattern design for Perspex Layers: Simulates the shape for the real tree. Reaearch on different types of tree and plants to get the inspiration.

The way of gluing Perspex Layers: 2 Full piece of perspex glues with 1 perspex with pattern; Used speical glue(toxic); 20mins to dry; Used Glue gun to glue the sides of the layers for preventing leaking.

1st Prototype of perspex layers(transparent one): Testing different thickness channels. Too many channels inside the persperx layers, liquid could not go through all the paths. some twisty paths were too sharp, liquid would leave there.

2nd Prototype of perspex layers(red one): Change to "One line drawing" way, test on 1 layer.

3rd Prototype of perspex layers(blue one): Having complex, beautiful look with 5 layers. Too many layers. needed to cut down.

4rd Prototype of perspex layers(purple and blue one): Designed 2 styles with 2 layers. The one with the leaves liked shape did not look nice. Finally chose the last one.
