This is a sample of a kaleidoscope tessellation requested by, and created for, a friend (Gina) I met here on Flickr. She makes candy wrappers, gift wrap, bookmarks, etc., but her site is no longer online, so I'm not sure where to get her products any longer.

Only sample tiles are available for viewing since I used her original picture instead of one of my own or one from Flickr with a CC license.

Discarded paper.

Made by the Etsy Labs.

I went a little nuts at Home Goods and bought a BUNCH of their Christmas wrapping paper to use in collages. They have the best papers and this year I decided to buy them early in December rather than wait for after Christmas sales.

It was just one of those things that I couldn't explain if I tried. But I got several new pairs of toe socks and just HAD to wear them on my head. And of course Gary jumped into action with the wrapping paper hat...

Yeah, we're dorks.

This year's wrapping paper collection includes snowmen, stockings, and balls for the tree.

mmm, cheeseburger

I'm wrapping presents tonight and apparently inciting a riot over on Twitter. How about you Flickr folks: "Love, Actually" or "Bridget Jones' Diary"?

It's almost Christmas

that makes me happy (:

The giant bow (a little more than a foot in diameter) that I constructed using gift-wrapping paper.

My friends and I were giving a tennis bag to another friend as a birthday gift and thought of giving it to her directly without any gift wrap and with just a bow stuck on it. But I thought the usual gift bows would look ridiculously small on such a large gift so I decided to make a big one myself and came up with this. Phew! To think that I just winged it.
