"Root of Tree" kirigami version (fractal binary tree)
design: Alessandro Beber, Oct. 2019
fold: Alessandro Beber, Oct.-Nov. 2019
paper: one single 1:√3 (bronze) rectangle of 80gsm Canson tracing paper, cut out from an A4 sheet
Here are some examples of my recent kirigami fractal. It was first designed from a 1:√3 rectangle with the last CDO @origamicdo contest in mind, but being a kirigami (using folds and CUTS!) it could not be accepted. You can see a modular origami version in the previous post.
Anyway, I'm very proud of this design, as it is a REAL single-sheet origami/kirigami fractal, ie. the process itself is a fractal. It means that infinity could be reached with a single, finite sheet!! (Modular approaches require adding more paper to reach the next level)
The construction is very simple, just few folds and one cut, which can be repeated in more places (2x) and smaller scale (1/2) at each step. Each step consists of creasing both diagonals and the horizontal middle line, halfway cutting the sheet in half vertically, and pleat fold the two flaps using angle bisectors, obtaining one triangle with two flaps, both similar to the original sheet, on which you can repeat the process ad infinitum...
Moreover, the process is quite independent from the proportions of the sheet, as you can see from the pictures. It can be made from any kind of rectangle, eventually adding a couple more folds to hide some excess paper appearing when the rectangle is too long (vertically) or placed horizontally.
Try it!
Pictober day eight. Prompt - eight
Being of no artistic merit whatsoever.
This was the first attempt, but since it was from below it ended up looking more like 23 (10111b) than 8 (01000b).
For those who didn't catch it in yesterdays photo, my dad taught all of us kids how to count to 31 (2**5 - 1) on one hand in binary. If you are really dedicated and use both hands, you can get to 1023 (2**10 - 1).
I'm 71 and I come by my geekdom honestly, from both sides.

Third anniversary present for my husband! The binary translates to one of my favorite quotes from Hamlet: "This too too sallied flesh would melt, thaw, and..." then I ran out of room.
I should have planned better and fit in the entire thing: "O, that this too too sallied flesh would melt, thaw, and resolve itself into a dew."
Either way, he loved it! I'm quite proud as I've never seen him so excited when opening a gift. The idea came to me as I was thinking of how we are all made of the same thing.
Two more photos in my stream!
Today is my birthday. Rather than fill the cake with dozens of candles, I used the candles as binary bits, 1s and 0s, lit or unlit.
