Hour Glass-shaped Belt Accessory

The hour glass is often turned upside down to record time, this belt accessory is designed to imitate the feature of the hour glass. There are four separate mazes above and below. when the silver maze is facing up, the bead can roll from the silver maze to the bronze maze. With the bronze maze facing up, the beads will roll from the bronze maze to the silver maze.

“Inspired by the idea of Jie Xu and Craig S. Kaplan. They states that 'maze design interacts with problems in non-photorealistic rendering. There are many great projects for producing line drawings from images. The lines must contrive to have the geometry of a maze, this additional constraint affects how we think about creating a line drawing in the first place'. The above opinions released me from the original mind trap, and made me realize that the maze could be curved or even be designed in any unusual shape.”
