"Alien Orreries" - Non-Kinetic Pieces

Throughout the design process, I came up with ideas for additional, non-kinetic pieces which I couldn't NOT make.
They are largely based on that lovely spherical astrolabe in Oxford...

Donut Pendant

This uses the donut mounting technique I developed for the Advanced Production Processes module.

It was the first piece I managed to finish, which is why I had time to take a decent photo.

Ball Pendant

This blue goldstone ball meant I could go quite literal with the spherical astrolabe influence.
I finally found a use for my corrugated rolling mill which put lovely regular lines into a piece of D shaped wire.

The final piece was laser welded into position to trap the ball.

Ring

Picture
I used the corrugated rolling mill again, to create a simple band ring.
This did leave unsightly lines on the inside as well as the outside.
I may try and fill these in on the laser welder at a future date.

Studs

Picture
These studs came about because I made a mistake with the oval kinetic piece.
I forgot to move the centre of rotation from an earlier design and so had to cut out these parts.
Not wanting them to go to waste, I added earring posts.
