Flickr made me do it....spend way more than I should have for this tintype and another of two couples on a paper moon. If I had not been so envious of the paper moon tintypes on the "It's Only a Paper Moon" group I could have resisted them at the sales show held during the 2008 Daguerreian Society Symposium.
This couple do not appear to be having much fun but that is a scary looking moon.

... of a thousand
I got an email on Red Bubble;
We are collecting 1000paper cranes for an Installation work for the children at the hospital. Can you help us?
Please post your paper cranes by August 31
Send to:
“Fold With Love” Project, Arts Program, Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation
...Locked Bag 5, Randwick NSW Australia 2031
“Fold with Love – 1000 paper cranes” is a project based on the Japanese legend of 1000 paper cranes. A team of Sydney-based Japanese artists, Mayu Kataoka and Midori Furze are collecting one thousand paper cranes from one thousand people to do an installation work on the hospital walls at Sydney Children’s Hospital.
Each person fold only one paper crane; it is small and takes only a few minute of their time…but we will collect one thousand of them! Can you imagine how beautiful and powerful decoration will be on the Children’s hospital walls with 1000 paper cranes together? We are sure it will brighten up the hospital wall.
Our blog
The project is this year’s Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation art program, in partnership with the Sydney Children’s Hospital School.

So I am sending this little guy :)
Flickr Lounge ~ Origami/Made from Paper
Stay safe and well everyone.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated
The original model is very nice but it gets thick and difficult to work on in some places, so I decided to modify it. Instead of using the reference "point to center" I used "middle of the side to center" then I did that weaving made popular by Tomoko Fuse and more recently by Peter Keller and I got this.
Folded from a square of 30 cm on the side of some gift wrapping paper.
I was convinced that Juan López Figueroa had created a Star of Eden with the decoration of Wesley Chin's Blooming Flower Box, but when I searched Juan's gallery I didn't find it so I decided to make one. As I was finishing this model it struck me that it wasn't Juan Lopez's creation, it was Chris Palmer's and I had already folded it.
The center of the model is different here that on Wesley's model, but it can be done with an "open" center.
Folded form a square of 20 cm on the side of origami paper.
1658. 5/15 "Focus"
Whether you choose to use razor sharp camera focus or share your dog's focus on some particular object, the topic of the day is focus.
After my husband went food shopping this morning, Spanky's main focus was to destroy the paper towels. He picked them up and ran out the back door so he could have the pleasure of destroying them in the back yard.

Liège 1915. German billboard with names of executed for espionage.
Private collection. No reproduction.
Once you understand how this system works, you can play around with it and make this other configuration of stars.
Folded from a square of 20 cm on the side of "Casa de Papel" paper.
Using Ale Beber's technique for the KNB Star, similar to some of the works of O'Sorigami.

image of the day and pure luck this colourful butterfly happened to land right next to me and on a bit scrap paper that provided a great backdrop!
it was there for seconds hence the odd settings of f2.8 and a shutter at 1,000!!! (was shooting HJ hence the f2.8 and my reaction is still to ramp up the shutter to get the correct exposure when i have a few seconds to grab an image rather than balancing the fstop and speed etc! - i will learn ... maybe ...)
I noticed there weren't many CC-licensed watercolor textures, so here's a scan of a sheet of watercolor paper.
Memorial Flower
Designed on the same day as the memorial star, constructed from the same base. I might be a cp to verify originality.
Designed by me.
Folded out of an uncut 6" square of duo tissue-foil.
The paper mill Palm in Unterkochen near Aalen still receives rail service. The waste materials that remain during paper production are filled into so called Inno Freight containers and then loaded onto flat cars. This is a Monday through Friday job, today switched by a V90. The cars to the left come from a train to truck trans-loading area.
Introducing the Pink Paper Dollhouse! This charming house is a kalidescope of color and pattern . Details are abound on every nook and cranny. With my background in dollhouse miniatures it was no surprise that I would have a paper dollhouse available some day. Finally after 3 months of designing and illustrating I'm so excited to share it with you. This is a great first starter house for miniature enthusiasts. At 12"L x 10" high its the perfect size for play.
A cute easy tessellation by Wei Fu. The use of an open back hexagon twist reminded me a lot of my Pinwheel Spark tessellation which has 2 variations. So, of course, I had to make a few variations with this one too :)
Polylepis tree bark in Polylepis forest - Cajas National Park, Ecuador
A close up of the bark of a Polylepis tree high up in the Andes Mountains in Ecuador. Unfortunately there aren't many of these high altitude polylepis forests remaining, many have been lost to make room for grazing animals or cut down for other reasons. This type of forest is unique to high altitude locations in the South American Andes.
For this week's Macro Monday theme of "white on white", I used strips of white paper photographed on another sheet of white paper. I tried photographing curls and spirals but wasn't that happy with the results apart from one or two. So most of my photos were of a strip gently folded to form loops about 1 cm high, stuck to the other sheet with double sided tape, and using a light to throw shadows. My first attempts used a bright white LED torch and the photos came out very blue - not really what I was looking for in terms of the theme but interesting nevertheless. So I tried again with a halogen light source and that was better. I played around with clarity and contrast and must admit I like the darker, higher contrast images this produced, but was worried they wouldn't be quite right for the theme. So I did a few with less contrast and clarity, which gives a gentler, softer image.
