Condensation Wrist Piece
















I got my Rapid prototyped model today. The binding material did not glue every layer, so unfortunately, some of the parts came off. It reminds me more of clouds now though than of condensation.

Digital Drawing Project





























The project parameters were to design a piece of body adornment with CAD incorporating ideas of either spin, balance, or fold.  My piece encompasses the idea of balance.  You wear the ring on your finger and you have to find where on the point the other object will balance.  The top image is based on a crumpled up bit of paper.
