Jan 29th will usher in the Year of the Dog. What a great way to celebrate!

I like paper cutting almost as much as I like origami; really, anything with paper is good.

Here’s to a new year full of paper goodness!

Christmas Bling!

I don’t really think there’s anything else to be said about this photo, do you?

We could call him Aaron Burr, by the way he’s droppin’ Hamiltons…

Mélisande posted this great new work, titled “La ronde des cocottes”. It’s something like a tessellation of pajaritas, which I particularly enjoy. Click the pictures for linky goodness.

Ferry Meewisse pointed out that the hexagonal leather purse is only 60 euros, which is indeed a reasonable price to pay for a designer bag.

There’s a large selection of different polygons- I am quite impressed! I owe a large apology for assuming it was overpriced.

Anyone notice a similarity between this and that first purse? I know it’s just coincidence, but it’s interesting how people who think about folded objects sometimes think of the same things!
