I stumbled across this on Boing-Boing Gadgets and was fascinated. It's a piece of circular knitting fashioned from thin, clear plastic capillary tubing. The flow of colored water through the thing is mesmerizing. Although it looks a bit like nalbinding, it's a twisted loop variant of frame knitting (the frame is upside down on the bottom, forming a pedestal for the sculpture).

Fascinating. Hats off to Mr. Bucket and the folk at Casual Profanity for the joy of this piece!
