An espresso cup specially designed with fins, to ensure the successful deployment of your rocket fuel. All systems are go! Paraboloid bowl holds approximately 1.5 fl oz. or 45 mL. (Note that I previously claimed the cup held 60 mL. While my 3D modelling software still reports that as the internal volume, some combination of the printing process and glazing is robbing me of internal volume. Contact me if you'd be interested in a larger, more expensive 60 mL cup.)
After receiving feedback from Shapeways, I've created a slightly revised model for the cup. I'm told that this model will be easier to print and glaze, leading to a more reliable product. The changes are minor -- it's a little wider, a little heavier, and has more rounding on edges that were previously sharp (a 3D rendering shows the differences above).
Update (April 13th, 2013): The cup has had a great run on Shapeways, and I deeply appreciate the attention and positive feedback it has received. The bad news is that I've got to stop offering it for sale here. The good news is that the cup is now available commercially! It's being manufactured by Fred and Friends, sold under the name "Blast Off! Espresso Cup Set". It's already available for purchase online (perpetualkid.com, thinkgeek.com), and I'm sure you'll be able to find it in your favourite housewares store soon.

To wear as a pendant, a simple 2mm-thick cord works well.
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.

Class: Mammalia
Order: Artiodactyla

Subfamily: Capreolinae
Genus: Odocoileus
Species: Odocoileus virginianus, the White-tailed Deer.
The word ‘deer' once referred to all wild animals that weren’t easily caught or domesticated – they are animals that can not be owned. O. virginianus is native to the continent America. Native Americans and early settlers utilized their hides to make buckskin leather.
Deer possess many glands that allow them to produce scents that are used to attract a mate or to mark territory. Some of these scents are detectable by humans and have been used for thousands of years as a fixative in perfumes; The word ‘musk’ originates from Sanskrit muṣká meaning ‘testicle’.

These earrings are sized for 18 gauge piercings. They should fit most people with pierced ears, but if you need a smaller gauge, check out the fishhook version in my shop.
If you need a larger gauge, just ask and I can resize them for you. I will continue to add other sizes as I make them.
Disclaimer on the images: any photos labeled "polished" are stainless steel that has been hand polished with a dremel. The stainless that you order will have more of a texture to it. I haven't yet made these for myself in bronze glossy, gold plated glossy, or either types of silver, but if you want the highly polished look your best bet is going to be silver glossy.
Model has been corrected and should now be printable
