This is a model of the woodcut picture made by M.C. Escher in 1965 called 'Knots".
It has since then been a challenge for 3d modelers and mathematicians.
As far as I know it has not been modeled in 3d up till now. (It has! see comments).

The model's height is about 8 cm.

An incredibly talented artist friend of mine (Chantell Hager; http://phantasyfaces.com/) drew some pictures of a dragon for me, so I might model this creature in 3D for fun and practice. Seeing as how it is a decently cool model, I thought I'd surprise her with a pendant of the model in return. This is a slight revision on my first Shapeways model. Some of the details that I had designed into the model were too small to show up in this size, so I revised the model to accentuate some of those features.

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Mollusca
Class: Cephalopoda
Order: Octopoda
Suborder: Incirrina
Family: Octopodidae
Subfamily: Octopodinae
Species: Octopus vulgaris, the Common Octopus.

Members of the class cephalopoda are carnivorous hunters. They have the most advanced nervous system of all invertebrate animals and are an important example of advanced cognitive evolution in animals.

O. vulgaris is the most studied of all octopus species and possesses excellent eyesight, capable of distinguishing shapes, textures, and colour. It is the only animal which has been conclusively shown to use tools, and is proficient at learning simple processes such as unscrewing a jar.

Cephalopods are able to release dark pigment into the water as an escape mechanism, which in the past has been extracted and used by humans as an ink or dye. The word sepia comes from the Latin word for cuttlefish, s?pía.

A recreation of Dr Who's TARDIS. One of my favourite shows as a kid and still shown today, Doctor Who's TARDIS has undergone many incarnations. It seems that season 18's is perhaps the most popular and that is what I tried to remain close to when designing it. This one has no door handles on it, though, simply because I feel the printing process just wouldn't handle the thin material very well (the thickness of the handle was one tenth of a mm). But, in looking at the dozens of incarnations of the TARDIS there were some that did not have any handles, in fact.

The "Police Box" lettering is extruded on each side but I have not been able to put the sign on the phone cover door because of the size.

I am offering an updated version of this ring on my etsy store at http://cymonsgames.etsy.com/ 3D printed on my home printer. A smaller version of my TARDIS ring for smaller fingers (to save you material cost). US ring sizes 0-7 available.
