Arty-visual Ear (AE) Purpose: Although pierced earrings are common accessories, there are people that cannot have ear piercing due to skin conditions, cultural restrictions or personal preference. The AE is revolutionary as it allows you to wear pierced earrings even if your ears are not pierced. Design: The shape and form are inspired by nature: the waves and the New Zealand Koru plant. The left & right ear pieces are not identical in design to thematically represent the ever changing waves. I combined the prototype (see photos) with different studs and am still having fun changing them. The AE design comes with a pair of clip-on and a pair of hook-on earrings. Mix & Match your own combinations, the possibilities are endless. Left-Ear-Piece: Material = Ponoko’s 3mm white acrylic Function = Clip-on, 3 through-holes for studs and/or additional hook-on earrings. Right-Ear-Piece: Material = Ponoko’s 3mm white acrylic Function = Clip-on, 5 through-holes for studs and/or additional hook-on earrings. Pair of Earrings: Material = Ponoko’s 3mm Arctic Ice (Frosted 1-side) acrylic Function = Additional pair of hook-on earrings.
