Custom Double-Grooved Titanium Light
Another commission where the guidelines from the customer were pretty open-ended: Titanium, a rechargeable CR123 battery, and the rest was left to me.
I
opted to use a fairly simple design—two intersecting grooves--but they had
to be properly spaced to provide some grip to the surface, as it was a
twisty. The close-up shows the little ridges between the grooves, that
provided the grip. Note that the lengths of the ridges varied along the
length of the light.
On the front of the light, I installed some Silicon Nitride balls, which not only protect the front of the light, but also created a gap where light could peek through, if the user were to set the light down and forget to shut it off!

surface of the light was highly polished, creating numerous reflective
surfaces and providing a very sensual experience as well.
