Totally off topic ; Paper modelling :-)

I have one of those weird minds that likes manipulating shapes and forms; I find 3D creation easy, but it means that shapes and the method of their creation can leave me entranced
From this you'll guess that origami is a delight and paper engineering a fascination.
Among the links that I regularly visit are the paper craft ones.
Cannon has some new ones up for Hallowe'en and Autumn

Not just for kids enjoy

oh years ago, very pretty, but it doesn't have the complexity of modular origami

The 3D cards are beautiful very special gifts

cheers,

Stuart that's the biggest kusudama I've ever seen
Beautiful
I've got a mini red/gold/green one of that very kind sitting in pieces on my desk right now. It's the footer of putting the five elements together to make each of the 'flower' segments that's irritating me. I think I'm going to sew them

Kev, I really liked the hallowe'en print outs this year

cheers,
M
