Final Wearable Object
The object that I decided to go with was the honeycomb earrings. When discussing with my classmates it is the object that stood out the most and people where quite interested in how it would turn out. They also stated that it was a pretty unique piece to make and would look quite nice as an earring as it would stand out a lot when it is worn. Going back to refinement there was an interesting process of trying to measure my ear to get the right dimensions. Once I got the measurements I then took a picture of an ear, placed it in the rhino file and then used that to fix the general shape of the earring. To make sure everything was the right size I printed it out on paper to make sure it would fit my over my ear. When creating this piece the most challenging part was creating the back hoop that connects to the top of the ear. I originally tried to make it run across the entire top of the piece with the honeycomb pattern continuing all the way around. Though by doing this I found that the hexagons would not maintain their shapes and made the piece look messy. In the end I just went with a simple loop at the top of the earring. I also decided to add different heights and indents throughout the different shapes to add some depth to the piece. Another issue I had was that it did not want to become a closed polysurface so I had to go though and fix certain areas. I also decided not to include the bit that sticks through the ear at the bottom as I think it would be easier to just glue it on afterwards as the durability of that small piece would be unreliable. It would be too weak to support the earring.
