Bottle Stoppers Meet Gaudi

Sagrada Familia in Barcelona...

I've got Gaudi on the brain again. My idea is to design clay bottle stoppers for some vintage glass bottles that I've been finding at Antique Fairs. I made some early prototypes. But, I'm not super happy with them. I think that they need a more over-scaled extravagant appearance. Something grand is necessary. So, I've been peeking around, looking for some of Antoni Gaudi's drawings and plans. I'm interested in his natural and organic shapes. But, I'm also interested in his mathematical shapes. Hoping to get back in the shed to work out my ideas during the Christmas Break from school.

Gaudi's method for designing arches...

Complex geometries...

Walking inside the spiral staircase was wonderful...

Might be a handy book to have...
