Kepler's Inner Planets Crystal by Bathsheba

Bathsheba Grossman has created another lovely crystal in her array of exquisite art... this one is a 3D model of Johannes Kepler's diagram of the inner planets, first published in his 1596 book Mysterium Cosmographicum. I'd love to see this first hand....
I created a POV-Ray model a while ago entitled "Homage to Kepler" which incorporates both the inner and outer solar system models.
Even at smaller print sizes you can see both the inner and outer models fairly easily. If you want a really close view, the print is available all the way up to 36" x 27". This early POV-Ray model was a precursor to my Martineau Solar System Series now being exhibited in at least 3 different venues on this planet.
