Reverse Cleat Charm
Medium: PLA Plastic, Spray Paint, Colored Pigment and Resin
Dimensions: 2 x 2 x .6in
The reverse cleat is a 3D printed multi-teir shoelace charm. The shape of the charm is meant to cradle the laces within the indent, allowing for a tighter fit if needed. It is visually supposed to mimic a plate of armor, but also has some biomorphic qualities in its shape and uneven texture. Molds were made of the oringal printed model so that resin iterations could be made. Plastic models are sanded then finished with a coat of spray paint.
