Earring stand with logo

To get started as soon as possible, we first purchased a basic package of 6 ears.

These 3D models provide a relatively easy and customizable starting point in Blender3D.

The shape of the backplate is procedurally designed with a wave modifier.

On that plane we then applied a boolean modifier to it, that way the straight edges are preserved.

After the rough shape was approved, the details were applied manually in sculpt fashion.

This shape is based on a jawline.

After the first proof, the different earrings were tested on the prototype.

This showed that the ear was still too thick for the closures; the grooves in the ear also needed to be hollowed out deeper.

Furthermore, there was not enough room to easily work behind the ear.

After the new 3D model was set up, it was time to print the final versions.

This time with Elliot & Ostrich's logo added to the back plate.

The final step was spray painting the specific color: black-brown wood.

Before we can start painting, the model must be completely sanded down, then it is leveled with filler.

To obtain the requested color we first sprayed 2 coats of chocolate brown, on top of that we applied black in several layers.

This creates different gradations within the dark color that mimics the wood effect.

After the painted prototype was approved, the final models were painted in the same way.

Finally, these models are also varnished with glossy finish.

This protects the stands from scratches while taking earrings in and out.
