Planet Glass Toys

The first assignment in Entrepreneur course was to make something out of nothing. In other words, we had to create something marketable using materials basically cost almost nothing. Hence, I picked up thrown out glass balls from RISD Glass department; Glass majors must create 100 glass balls for their assignment but after then, all of them go into trash.
 
Originally, I thought of making Christmas lights of my planet characters. However I could not obtain transparent paint, so I turned these into a prototype for toys targeting children or collectors. These may be developed into plush toys or made out of acrylic balls since these are extremely fragile.
 
These have individual facial expressions and texture difference. All are inspired from my illustration works.

Planet Glass Toys

I created glass toys for planets; they have their own facial expressions and texture difference. All are inspired from my illustration works.
