OR·BIT
\ ˈȯr-bət \noun
1aa path described by one body in its revolution about another
Merriam-Webster
Fig. 1 A body on an elliptical orbit speeds up near the sun and slows down far from it, sweeping out equal areas in equal times. Each ornament plays on the same idea: rings within rings, opened around a gold core.
Every ornament is 3D printed flat, as one layer of nested rings, and that is how it ships to you.
Start from the inside. Each ring pivots on two small tabs and turns away from the one around it.
Opened up, the rings become a small planetary system for the branch, with a gold sun or star at its core.
Silver orbits, gold suns, and four-point stars, offered together as one complete set.
Ornamental Orbits started as small prototypes and iterations of the larger celestial sculptures I'm developing. Along the way, these little treasures emerged on their own.
Each piece is designed and 3D printed as a single flat layer, then opened by hand into three dimensions. I wanted to share that journey and make something you can take with you: a small treasure found on my exploration into the cosmos.
A universal gift
