This image shows three smooth, shiny spheres stacked unevenly. The surfaces are covered in tiny, crisscrossed lines that make them look like they’re made of metal or glass. The background is plain black, so the spheres stand out sharply. The lines on the spheres are all the same size and shape, but they curve to follow the round forms. This makes the balls look almost impossible to balance—like they might roll at any moment. If you like tricky shapes, check out engraving.
