Reuleaux triangle coaster

Image
I was approached with a design for a coaster using a Reuleaux triangle in the middle. It is a shape of constant width so it is able to rotate within a square just like a circle would. I made some tweaks to the design like putting in a lip on the middle layer to stop the shape falling out. It works and is fairly functional but it's not very smooth and it squeaks as it turns, I've yet to come up with sensible solutions to those problems.

Geometric Embroidery T-Rex

The T-Rex is the last of the Dinosaur range for the moment, I have the knack of drawing now and the style and also I ended up buying 36 embroidery skeins so I'm sure there will be lots more variation in the future. For now, here are the dino buddies, happily playing together .

Another embroidery dinosaur, this one was much quicker to draw and now that I've found an embroidery needle it was much quicker to sew (please ignore the snag on the back like I did :p). I'm pleased with these so I expect I'll be putting a set of three up in the store shortly.
