Let your inner nerd out!

So, I recently stumbled across the work of Morphologica who states that "I am in the final stages of completing my PhD in neuroscience, and have created Morphologica to have a bit of fun with a normally serious subject.

During my research, I have discovered that science can be surprisingly beautiful- single cells viewed under a microscope, intricate networks of cells important for learning and memory, and even the curving structure of the brain itself.
I have tried to capture some of this beauty in the Morphologica pieces, focusing on the shape or morphology of a variety of subjects studied in neuroscience."

While I've been buried in my thesis work I was so thrilled to find more science related art to share with everyone! I hope you all love it as much as I do. It even utilizes laser cutting one of my favorite forms of technology. =)

Topping my wishlist currently are these Helical Symmetry double helix DNA Earrings in black


Great length and dangle which is just what you want in a pair of earrings!

Also I am loving this adorably sexy nerd necklace in black
I'm definitely a huge fan of the typeface used!


Also available in Geek

Be sure to check out her shop and the rest of her great work!

Take care all!

AND! Don't forget to submit work to the exhibition I am trying to get together!

Thanks all!

Laser Cutting

So, any of you who are familiar with my work [visible to your right in my etsy.mini] know that I am a huge fan of laser cutting and working in acrylic.
I have chosen today to share with you the beautiful work of Isette, a fellow artist who has made use of this new technology to create wonderful pieces.
Isette states:

"I am inspired by the world around me. And I am fortunate that the world around me includes a 100+ year old museum collection that I'm given free reign over and a typography obsessed graphic designer husband. Design and Victoriana meet here, with a splash of whimsy."

Her inspirations definitely show in her beautiful work!
Now to share a few of my favorite pieces from her shop:
First I adore this elegant Mane Necklace
Beautiful curves and flowing lines, definitely some of my favorite things! I love the movement of this piece and the black is a perfect compliment to the feel of the design.
Next up is this quirky, imaginative Spectacles Ring.
The nerd in me is giddy just looking at this ring! Simple yet different, once again possessing a wonderful quality of line movement.
Last but definitely not least these Eclipse Earrings that show off some wonderful engraving which definitely pops against the black background! These would be a wonderful compliment to any elegant outfit.

Lots more great work available at her store, so be sure to check it out!
