Detail from new drawing I am working on.

I placed an aquarium (3d) on an overhead projector and aimed at the wall (2d), so you can 'walk thought' the underwater world. I have a certain fascination for the underwater world, I wanted to let people experience the feeling of being  'underwater'.

This is a project I am currently working on. It is about designing a bottle, with your own interpretation. My idea was about giving blind people the ability to read their own information on the products. In my case I wanted to design a wine bottle with braille on it. The reason I chose wine is because people have a unique interpretation of taste.

Materials:  Porcelain  Golden/transparant glaze Human hair 16-03-2011 Working on a few more to eventually sell them. If your interested in buying one of these ponies don't hesitate to contact me.
