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!
A tetris inspired ball made for the first person to beat the game: 'Blue Scuti'.
A preview of the first ball that we will be dropping through 12 Pentagons. My favorite ball of all time (so far). 92 individual Italian leather panels hand stitched together.
This picture shows the crazy panel shapes for my (unintentional) sausage ball. The panels make 1 continuous path all around the ball to create the sphere.
A ball that used a peeled orange as a basis for it's construction.
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.
