<p>First round of ideas was very octopus focused, because they're great.</p>
<p>We have empty spots on our walls where sconces used to go, so I conceived of a pair of
sconces that shaped like octopus bodies, which cast tentacular shadows.</p>

<p>Next ideas: floor lamps, shaped like floating octopus, jellyfish, or man o' war... with
an internal, curved support rod holding them up without appearing to.</p>
<p>The floor lamp idea inspired an idea of small lamps, at floor level the could be
scattered in a room and project shapes on the floor. The aquatic theme continued via
diatom shapes which are animal and crystaline all at once.</p>

<p>In an effort to simplify, the diatoms became Platonic solids, which are cool nerdy
shapes. Just top notch solids, A+.</p>
<p>I don't really know how, but at some point, they gained glowing projections and the most
ready source of translucent cylinders that I have are <a

target="_blank">Talenti jars</a>.</p>
<p>How to treat the jars to play with light triggered some other ideas: by linking them in a
closed system, liquid or air could be circulated to create swirls or vortexes of
particles inside. A system the forced air could turn tubines in each jar for motion.</p>

<p>The first round of prototyping was based on creating shapes that were compatible with the jars, and could be combined later with other designs.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuNBYjSQaO0">pair of YouTube tutorials about creating threaded nuts and bolts</a> was key to be able to make these. My initial prototype used a subtractive approach for the "lid" as in the video, but this version used the rail sweep approach for both pieces.</p>

<p>The second round was to create panels for producing one of the solids using the jar shapes.</p>
<p>These panels are thin and designed to be assembled using small cable ties. The lamp is attached by virtue of the bulb being too big to fit through the hole.</p>
<p>I had some bed adhesion issues printing something this thin and flat at this size, so that's going to be a factor moving forward.</p>
<p>I used tracing paper in the jars to prototype different frosting finishes or jar contents.</p>
