Stainless Phantasmal Is Out Now!

Aroha Silhouettes Stainless Phantasmal collection logo

Optical illusions disorient the visual perceptual system with their eye-catching impossible lines.

Illusions can be based on an individuals ability to see in three dimensions, even though the image hitting the retina is only two dimensional. The brain tries to find some kind of continuity in what our eyes see, and when our perception does not match with the physical dimensions of the object, an optical illusion is born.

The semi-gloss stainless steel that each piece is etched from catches the light and provides a strong yet lightweight material for the delicate geometric designs. The Stainless Phantasmal collection by Aroha Silhouettes is made up of miniature pieces of unique art that can be worn as three-dimensional eye candy everyday.

A Sneak Peek

Recently I teamed up with the fabulous Andrea and Kaveh of Nardeboon Photography and Emma Garland hair and makeup extraordinaire for a studio photo shoot to get some new images. Our model Siri was absolutely gorgeous and did a fabulous job of modeling the pieces.

I've been wanting to get the Phantasmal Collection designs smaller for such a long time and I'm so happy with how they have turned out! Stainless steel is the perfect lightweight yet strong material for these tiny designs.

They will be available in the Aroha Silhouettes online store on the 22 August 2009, I can't wait!
