A fun little design project for that special someone on her birthday.  I call it Le Dweez de Luna.

The design focused on translating the elegant curves of a Luna Moth into digital geometry, then manipulating the latent patterns in trajectory towards transparency.  The final design is 3D printed in wax and cast in sterling silver through a lost wax process.  Finally the sleek curves receive a high polish to grab & trap light from the environment within the unfolding forms.

What do you see?

Ok, well maybe just an excuse to take a break and have some fun with animated GIFs.  I do however use the ability to quickly section complex forms to make quick and precise adjustments to the full 3D model by operating at sectioned moments.  If you want to see it move, follow the link in the post title, I decided to keep the main page static.

Desktop background patterns utilizing a concept rendering of the Arnica Coat Button top view.  The designs tend to form around an X, and these images are a fun test to exploit that crossing geometry at a more intense scale.  This button is designed to work as a single larger coat or jacket button as well as a smaller elegant jacked cuff button series.
