Mandelbrot

"Fractals mathematical patterns that are infinitely self-similar. That is, any small part of a fractal pattern can represent the pattern as a whole. The Mandelbrot set, studied by mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot, is the set of values of c in the complex plane for which, under iterations of the polynomial z_{n+1} = z_{n}^2 + c, remains bounded (doesn't fly off to infinity). The Mandelbrot set is one of the most popular and recognizable fractals in mathematics.

Unfortunately, you can't zoom in infinitely on these earrings and expect to see self-similarity =P

These stud earrings are made of 3D printed plastic and hand-painted. The texture is rough, and the piece is coated in glossy enamel. Customs colors available...please ask."

Oh Yeah!

"this "text box" is stamped, cut out, filed (i love smooth edges), and then added to a nice sterling chain. the listing shows it closing with a VQ-swirly silver clasp., but you can request a lobster clasp instead.

the text box itself is just under 1 1/2" (36mm) wide and ~3/8"(5mm) tall. chain is made to order up to 20". tell me what length you'd like or i'll send an 18"

the chain is not currently colored/oxidized, but can be upon request. let me know in MESSAGE to SELLER at checkout.

these "text boxes" are completely customizable with whatever word you'd like. again, let me know in MESSAGE to SELLER, if you prefer another letter word. (longer words available for slightly more due to additional cost for silver.)

choices for you-
WORDS to stamp (up to 10 letters, spaces included, ONE side)
chain length, up to 20"
clasp- lobster or VQ swirly
oxidized or shiny"

Fiber Coral

"This is a contemporary fiber art wall sculpture by me, Rachel Hunnicutt. It was handcrafted soft, chunky organic cotton yarn in bright pink. The forms were inspired by the beautiful examples of sea coral found in the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia.

This piece is part of an ongoing series inspired by natural organic shapes such as barnacles, sea coral, lichen, and seed pods. I used a square wood plaque from a local second hand shop as a base, coating it with several layers of bright pink paint to create a monochromatic look. Then I crocheted each individual piece and arranged and glued them onto the base. The process of making each piece is a bit time consuming, but it becomes a meditation as I crochet each part of the project.

Much love and many good thoughts go into each piece I make. It is so important to me that my work is original and includes special details - I hope you enjoy it!

This piece is signed and ready to hang. The plaque has a spot for hanging built into the back and a decorative finial on top.

Measures approximately 7.25 inches (18.5 cm) on each side.

The wood plaque is in good shape and is a perfect square (a coveted find since square plaques are harder to find!). Because this part of the piece is second hand there may be small imperfections present. The paint does a good job of hiding flaws, but they may exist."
