One of my electives for my final semester at Pratt was Parametrics. We had to learn to use Grasshopper with Rhino, an amazing and powerful modeling tool used by a lot of architects and engineers. Grasshopper is much like coding and is very complicated. Grasshopper definitions look intimidating, but I was able to grasp some of the basics in one semester. 

Our first project required us to create a grasshopper definition that could create 5 different modules with a few tweaks in the definition. I knew I wanted to create holders for accessories- simply because I wanted to be able to use them after the semester!

Grasshoppper definition I worked on  

I'm planning on creating better versions so I can create and sell them on Shapeways. Every girl needs nice jewelry holder thangs! 

We had another project for the final... Posting that one up next!

Last month the lovely team at Rocksbox sent me my first box! 

Rocksbox is a fun new subscription service that sends you designer accessories each month for a fee. You have the option to buy or return each piece and the prices are always marked down for members.  Obviously you don't get charged more than your membership fee if you decide to return all of them. 

I chose to keep the Wanderlust + Co Ziggy silver ring this month since I fell in love with it and even my photos can't do it justice! 

They also gave me a code for all my readers- just type in raleenexoxo at checkout to receive your FIRST MONTH FREE! Sadly this is only for all my US-based ladies for now, so please help me spread the word to your friends if you think they'll love it, too! 

Can't wait to show you guys my next set!
