“I reached out my hand, and it fell heavily upon something damp and hard.” The Pit & The Pendulum, Edgar Allan Poe
There are a few shapes that lend themselves well to design, and some of my favored ones are pendulums, pods and pits. They are mysterious in their simplicity, smooth, hard, graceful, and foretell some future event – a flower, a fruit, a divination. The promise of a message in a shape, a simple shape, is magic at its best.
