Snowflake made from Papertowel/bath tissue card board tubes. The pic doesn't do it Justice. I used ultra fine glitter and the shimmer is so pretty.
This faceted mineral specimen is inside a magnifying box and framed by a cardboard tube. It is a blue form of the mineral tourmaline. Indicolite is a very rare complex magnesium iron boro-aluminium silicate hydroxide mineral. This Tourmaline variety gets its color from tiny iron impurities and has only a few known localities throughout the world. Brazil, Nigeria, and Afghanistan have the most important active deposits. Happy Crazy Tuesday.
Meerkats are such fun animals to watch, giving such wonderful poses, especially when a group of them are standing on their hind legs, stretching as tall as they can. At the Calgary Zoo, a number of them are youngsters and they are so cute. There was a very long, empty, cardboard (?) tube in their enclosure and one little one was determined to try and squeeze into it. I really thought it was going to get stuck inside, but each time it managed to back out of it, thank goodness. Probably not easy to get a firm footing on a slippery cardboard surface, compared to a dirt burrow.
"The meerkat or suricate, Suricata suricatta, is a small mammal belonging to the mongoose family. Meerkats live in all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, in much of the Namib Desert in Namibia and southwestern Angola, and in South Africa. A group of meerkats is called a "mob", "gang" or "clan". A meerkat clan often contains about 20 meerkats, but some super-families have 50 or more members. Meerkats have an average life span of 12–14 years."
The prerequisites for this activity are empty cardboard tubes, yellow shirt, red trousers and black paper hat whilst performing ninja-like activities against a blue backdrop. It requires intense training and a serious commitment to cardboard... or so I've been told.

I heard that some people hoarded toilet paper early in the pandemic. I didn't do that but I did collect the empty cardboard tubes for several weeks, much to my wife's amusement.

"Cathedrals usually stand as enduring monuments to human skill and inventiveness, and magnificent pointers to the presence of God among us. Their websites will tell you how they are the oldest, the largest, the tallest or the most significant of their kind.
ChristChurch Cathedral is slightly different. The original Cathedral was badly damaged in the Christchurch earthquake in February 2011. We are operating from our new temporary home, the Transitional Cathedral in Latimer Square, Christchurch. It is the world’s only cathedral made substantially of cardboard." www.cardboardcathedral.org.nz/
This is an incredible structure. The side rooms are shipping containers, the roof made from large cardboard tubes and opaque polycarbon pieces.

These are recent samples I made for the Mitchell Museum of the Native American. A new exhibit showcasing Northwest Coast art will be on display til the end of March 2010. This craft uses totems taped onto empty cardboard rolls. Children that visit the museum are allowed to color and make these and take home.
The book I used to photocopy the totems out of was "Totem Poles to color and cut out- Volume 2 - Tlinget" by Bellephron Books. The book has superb totems on each page, which I reduced to size and made many copies. This will be an easy children's craft for the next 2 months, as the museum just opened a Northwest Coast Art exhibit.

No Photoshop, straight out of the camera, no post-processing whatsoever. Mucking about with long exposures of a cardboard tube, a placemat, a old glass ashtray and a keychain LED.

Here is my first attempt at molding cardboard tubes into sculptures. Its challenging to get it to turn out right. I made a face with an empty toilet paper roll, and then, 2 days later, a body from a paper towel tube. What I have here is a staggering / lurching monster. His hands are up ...and he has a baggy suit on...thats what I see at least. Actually, I see "him" as dancing to Elvis Presley's "Jail House Rock" in that fabulous movie scene. Maybe I should paint some strips on his top.
I painted each tube with irridescent acrylic paints and then I hot glued the head on to the body. I still have to figure out what to do with this...hang it or make a wire stand for "the monster". I might glue on black hair...and I think glass beaded eyes would do him justice.
Better pix to come later.

This is an upcycled toilet paper roll, turned into a sheep for a green nativity scene.
The face is cut from a free internet coloring page. The body is a fleece-like fabric, glued into place. The legs are chenille stems (pipe cleaners). I cut one long stem into 2 equal halves, folded one half, then twisted it together and bent it to create feet. I taped the feet to the body with masking tape before I glued on the fleece.

my cardboard tube for blocking light & steadying during TTV shots....with added "lightning" effect for the ladies...
This is an upcycled toilet paper roll, turned into Joseph for a green nativity scene. I glued fabric over 2/3rds of the roll for a robe, then glued on a light-colored fabric to be the head scarf. Lastly, I drew the face with markers.
