This is a cranky contraption for my brother. I made the waves go up and down because my brother Kan is a swimmer in ISB for a very long time already. I painted the wood like a sand color because it’s supposed to look like a beach and the waves going up and down as you sping the handle. I wrote my brother’s name in calligraphy font that I wrote. My biggest successes were that the papers look like waves that I just ripped.  If I was able to change one thing it would be to let the spinning thing move more smoothly.  Overall, I think this product is successful because it actually looks like the beach.  Even if I failed my lettering for “Kan” a bit but it’s okay.
