The first of man 'ball drops'. Every ball I've made (that I'm not embarassed by) was dropped onto 2 reluctant but willing participants. It's 'marketing' for 12 Pentagons, but also something that I really wanted to do and was a lot of fun. You can view the full slow motion video on 12p.com.

About half way through my 'truchet tile' ball. One of my personal favorites. A new path is created for every rotation of the panels on the ball. If we ever did a run of these, each balls would be completely unique!

This is a special edition of The Hatrick. A ball that utalizes the recently discovered 'hat' shape as part of the construction. This version was made for the person that descovered the shape: David Smith. The colors of the panels are pulled from the news article in the NY Times that broke the story of the discovery.

I was asked by Mitre to make a special edition Mitre ball. It has the consturction of a classic Mitre ball, and it is constructed from recycled mitre balls throughout history. This ball was gifted to 'The Lost Lionesses' as part of a campaign to honor them for their unofficial world cup run.
