Kureji Usagi Golfer.
I had another request: Kureji Usagi Golfer. I thought maybe there was a romaji pronunciation for "golfer", but I guess there wasn't any.

Alternative cardboard light shades.
A couple of shades from this past week -- different ideas about geometry for snowflakes. Quite certain I need to explore a few more ideas before moving forward. I like the varying ideas coming out, though.
Kureji Usagi Mochitsuki
I showed my friend the usagi pirate, and she requested I do the obvious: rabbit pounding mochi on the moon. So I give you: Kureji Usagi Mochitsuki.

Kureji Usagi Pirate.
Shiver me timbers. I've been fascinated by rabbits (usagi - Japanese) lately, especially crazy (kure-ji - Japanese romaji) ones. Pirate rabbits...that's special.

Cardboard shades for lights.
Working on a cheaper product idea, using cardboard, instead of other materials...makes it more convenient than having to use separate suspension supports when using heavier materials, too.
Took about 2 hours while at Starbucks on Tuesday, to design and model it...Add another 2 hours to add the context then render it.
Based on double-depth cardboard panels (see Ponoko). The edge of the cardboard is a texture grabbed from online, edited and then added to the edges of the 3D model in SketchUp. I have this idea that the vertical panels are interchangeable with 3 variations (to start with), so that no two snowflakes are alike, if so desired.
One could do a whole ceiling of replaceable shades for a pop-up store for the holidays, if so desired.

New design work.
Another retail project -- a snapshot computer rendering of one of the furniture pieces.

Duck Store light pendants -- finally installed.
Wow what an epic struggle to get these installed...the fabricator was not quite on the same page as the rest of the team, and relations got strained when we learned that costs were not contained, that we were not getting quite what we paid for, and the timeline had shifted on us.
But the fixtures were finally ready to get out the door late Monday afternoon, and were installed at 10:00 pm, just so that we could get them in for KGW's Drew Carney and the early morning sunrise show.
