Sunday Browsing - Maths/Science Edition

Geeky Etsy picks are, like my Tiny things, a theme on which I could do many, many Sunday Browsing posts. There is such a deep mine of items which  that I had to really rein myself in *G* Technically, maths and science are not a part of my geekiness (yes, there are other types) but they still give me a little geeky shiver of joy whenever I see handmade items with this theme.



A beautiful copper cuff byKarlaWheelerDesign is the first pick. Sadly, I'm not a very good geek when it comes to binary (I'm not personally a maths geek, but I appreciate it), so I've had to rely on the translation given, which is the utterly brilliant "I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code."





This is just so romantic; a ring that expresses love in binary code. Handcrafted in textured sterling silver, a pair of idlehandsdesigns' rings would be fitting for a handmade, techie wedding:


 

Six mini-pi soaps from bubblegenius; you can put one in every bathroom and still have some spare (unless you have more than five bathrooms for some reason, you rich and/or bathroom obsessed person). Needless to say (though I'm saying it anyway) they're vegan, and come in scents like key lime, and cherry:

Another math/physics piece which I'm ashamed to say I need an explanation to fully get. But the fact that it's an artistic expression of Pi, both beautiful and symbolic, really makes it something I love. The fact that holmescraft's has done lovely wire-wrapping in my favourite colours is a definite plus:
 





I've lost track of whether uncool is still cool, or if it's gone right back around to being uncool again. Whatever; being ironic about liking something isn't really my style *G* But I do love the sentiment behind this great little canvas by ShopGibberish:
