Cube - Tumblr Posts
Stainless steel juggling balls. They’re made of a Japanese style chainmail weave, normally a flat sheet, extrapolated up into three dimensions. The weave has a crystalline sort of nature, making a cubical form. They’re solid all the way through. Each cube contains 504 rings (I did the math) and takes quite some time to weave. I think this set of five took a bit longer to make than one of my dragon tails usually do.
I made a set for myself years ago, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them. They’re fairly heavy, about a half pound each, which I know lots of jugglers wouldn’t go for, but I really like. They make a super satisfying jingling sound when you juggle. But the really great thing about them was that they’re totally indestructible. Before making these, I would wear out a set of juggling balls every year or two. I’ve been dropping juggling my set for over five years now, with no end in sight.
I’ve had these listed for order on my Etsy page for a while, and the listing sat unnoticed for quite some time. But someone recently bought a set of 5! So I got to make a big pile of them.
I have a bunch of these chainmail cubes that I use as juggling balls, and I really like them for that purpose. This was one that someone bought recently, and they only wanted a single one, so I'm assuming they'll be using it as a fidget toy.
Made of stainless steel, woven with a Japanese style weave extended up into a 3D lattice.
