Work in progress.
One of the layers is/was a rhombic #triacontahedron (affectionately known as an RTC or "Artie" to my fellow #geometry nerds & polyhedron-enthusiasts).
This would be considered a stellated #zonohedron, I think.

This will end up being a pendant (I think...for now).
Wanted to capture this layer for reference & posterity.
The strings are long enough for me to construct a bail.
Calling this a #Strongball also; 6 layers.

These are just fun. I wanted to play with color - one with a color mix from Miyuki, the other with a mass of beads from other projects that I cut apart. I have more ideas because I forgot how fun they are.

"Anemone II": Decorative Orb (art piece) woven with beads. As with my 2019 submission (Anemone Ball), I've duplicated most of the hyper-layering of seed beads using netting, right-angle weave, peyote stitch, square stitch and triangle weave. At the thirty vertices of a beaded rhombic triacontahedron, I've created 4-sided protrusions. I've embellished the protrusions in a five-color array to illustrate chirality. "In chemistry, a molecule or ion is called chiral if it cannot be superposed on its mirror image by any combination of rotations and translations. The terms are derived from Ancient Greek χείρ, meaning "hand"; which is the canonical example of an object with this property." [Wikipedia] When lines are drawn between each protrusion of the same color, an octahedron is formed.

Art is
My defense
Against
A world
That tries
To break

"Gestation Within the Nebula"
A collaboration piece I did in 2007.

Screenshot of my mobile Flickr, featuring a closeup of my Sculpture, called Gestation Within the Nebula. Text under photo: GWN Sculpture (Solar System detail) Sculpture title: Gestation within the Nebula - a reflection of the vast creation, which is the universe. We are born, grow and die, almost as the volatile stars. A collaboration of talents, mine and Mr. Brett Allen. Yours truly was responsible for the beaded stars and planets, Mr. Allen was responsible for everything else! Beaded planets: #3 bugle beads, silver-lined clear 15/0s, various glass, wood & stone beads.

A multiplicity of ideas & imaginings
Many shapes and lines and faces
And this is how I've traveled
To many unknown places
In my mind
By sitting still.

Part allium, part koosh, all beads! They're just fun and full of texture.
