Hollow-Face Vase Brooch — the vase is a hole, and it follows you
A magnetic brooch, 47 x 55 mm. The vase is not raised — it is the exact mould of a vase, sunk 5.2 mm into the plaque. Your eye refuses to read it as hollow, so it bulges out instead, and appears to turn and follow whoever walks past. Nothing moves; the viewer does. Two printed pieces, four colours in one 0.6 mm band, sealed magnets, no pin.

Wand Through the Wall — a Straight Wand Passes Through a Curved Slit
A dead-straight wand on a little turntable swings clean through two CURVED slits in a wall, twice per turn, without bending. The wand is skew to the axis, so it sweeps a hyperboloid; the wall cuts that in a hyperbola, and that is the slit. Four flat supportless parts, formula engraved on the base.
