Connecticut’s Carol Monahan (CuriousClayCreations) made Japanese-inspired orbs for a guild project. The shape is based on origami, the surface is Mokume Gane.
Tell me it’s not just me….this construction is hard to understand, right? I want to hold it in my hand. We’ll need more input from Carole.
It’s Monday. Too early in the week for this?
Carole ,
Thank you so much for sharing this piece! I started making these orbs in 2014 with a faux patina metal finish. I got distracted by other fun methods and wandered away from them. I think since I’m longing for the old pre quarantine days I felt the desire to RE visit this design again. Plus this Esher like interwoven style reminds me our our connections to everyone!

This blows me away. I can’t wrap my head around how it was constructed (even though I’ve seen the pattern!), how the patterened clay was edged into weird corners with no distortion. So cool.

Carole blow’s me away with this – the movement is incredible, and it was brilliant to show it off with the moving base.
