Chinese New Year papercutting!

IMG_2504 Originally uploaded by 天曉得。. 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!

La ronde des cocottes

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. But my favorite part is this: she uploaded a photo showing her workflow process, and how she goes about creating a new work of art.

Ferry Meewisse’s polygonal designer bags

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!
