Very, very nice work. I really like the way you incorporated the glass into the second one, very pleasing to look at and draws the eye directly to the center of the piece. Wow.

realy good work. What I think when i see these is the first one looks like a realy cool flat screen stand, the second reminds me of a DNA strand and the last one looks the most "organic" because the green glass adds to the woody feel as if they are square leaves. now you have given me some ideas thanks

I think you all have hit on some of the design elements that I was trying to get across. Thanks for the feedback and compliments.

Justin- The blue glass actually does represent the juxtaposition of modern tech, specifically the TV screen, with nature, ie the trees.

Original theme/title is Television in the Forest or something similar.
