The Sticking Stirring Stick features a minimalist aesthetic that was inspired by the simple tea drink that I enjoy. I enjoy tea when I try to unwind and I prefer to waste as little as possible in my life. Therefore, I wanted my design to embody the same values. 

However, I couldn't make the Sticking Stirring Stick just a plain stick. That would be ridiculous. So, I etched some Greek meander patterns onto the top side to add something interesting to look at. The etching also makes the Sticking Stirring Stick easier to grab when one is stirring.
