This aluminum form is made with six hexagonal shapes. Each hexagon has two handles to connect each other so the negative space between two shapes form a hexagon as well. The outer part of the connecting handles are filed into semi-circle and connected by brass rivets at the center so each hexagon can rotate. For a more controlled and smooth movement I add an extra plastic piece in between the rotating parts. I love the fact that this form […]
