Both a tribute to ubiquitous, and lovely, hexagonal colour pencils, and a representation of what was coined by Joris Peels as 'combinatory manufacturing'.
Combine the connector piece with any set of 36 standard hexagonal pencils of about 7.0 mm cross section (measured at the smallest diameter). These types of sets are available around the world from many department stores and art supply stores - I’ve seen good sets for as little as 5 euro.
Examples of pencils that fit are Stabilo Aquacolor 1600, and Caran d’Ache Prismalo I, but there are many more. I’ve recently heard that in the US, Prismacolor Verithin Colored Pencils (available from Amazon and others) work well. Normal black pencils often have the same size and shape and can be used too.
If you are new to the Shapeways website: to order you will be asked to create an account (it's easy). Assembly may leave slight marks on pencils. For more information on this or other products, please visit www.michielcornelissen.com.

Draw your earrings and we will turn them into 3d.
Instructions:
1) Download Sketch Sheet
2) Scan the sketch sheet and save the image.
3) Click "Personalize" and upload the image.
4) Order your earrings in your choice of material. Shapeways will turn your drawing into a printable 3D model, and ship it to you.
You can also do it yourself with our 2D to 3D design tool, and upload a black and white .jpg. You'll just have to add your own earring hooks and get the measurements correct. Note that it doesn't support multicolored image nor it would treat the image as texture. The image will only be used for bumping the depth on the surface.

This is one of Escher's tesselating fishes in 3D. Several of these fishes can be grouped together, so that they form a never ending pattern.
