Just few days ago I finished my third piece of candle holder that centers around the notion of fire and its aura of meditation. I still need to figure out a day to photograph these with a better camera. Regardless, I'm starting to work on the design of the next candle holder (the cubic one) I'm going to build.

Likewise, I created a prototype before actually deciding what to make so that I can get a sense about what the final product would look like structurally in three dimensional space and also in picture. The size of the prototype shown in the picture, however, is probably not going to be the actual size because of the short supply of nickel. Sometimes it is pretty hard to come up with a good alternative since the metals are pretty limited in the studio. The design is simple compared to the last one. Yet it really emphasizes on precision and measurement, which may be crucial while soldering.

A easy way to eliminate the challenge of soldering can be using the folding machine to create a cube. Only concern is that the resulted cube would not be sharp-edged and that the structure might not be as precise as soldering six "puzzles" together.
In terms of material use, some part of the nickel might have to be substituted by copper simply because there is no supply of nickel in the studio, so we'll see......
