i wish there was some way to see how big the pieces are . . . its impossible to tell from most of the photos except for the last

I thought these pieces were laser cut until I saw the last pic with the jewelers saw, etc. I wish the scale could be better determined from the photos too.

its Guy here from Kyoko's studio, I help her with the production of these pieces.

Zuma and Emm, the measurements of the pieces are in the item descriptions on our shop pages. Some of the designs also have model shots to give you a better idea of the size.

Emm, to be precise, some of the pieces are laser cut and some of them are hand cut. Kyoko cuts prototypes and limited editions herself, but its a tough skill and she could never do everything by hand so we use laser for other pieces. Each component is finished by hand though - we remove the edge burr, sand back the surface and then re-polish in order to achieve a particular finish which is very tactile - and not something you see in any other laser cut acrylic that I know of. On our site we indicate which pieces are hand cut, and all pieces are hand finished :)

cheers
