Math and Crafts

I found this lovely post on Math and Crafts . I am always looking for patterns in things. Maybe it's the closet synesthetic in me, but it really gives me a thrill to see math used as an expressive form--which it kind of always has been to me.

One Ring and Fairy Door

This is a new version of my One Ring sphere stand. I made a stamp of the inscription and pressed it into the clay. I'm still not entirely pleased with the results but they are getting better. This time I've got the shape of the ring a bit better. The ring from the movie really is quite a fat band of gold.


This is yet another fairy door. I layered some clay, pressed it into a thin sandwich, rolled, and sliced it to get the wood grain on this one. Though it wasn't exactly as I had envisioned, it went quickly.

I've made a Flickr group of my fairy doors. It can be viewed here: Craftastic Fairy Doors
