I'm much happier with this design, though it requires tearing up the old one. So must an artist suffer for his art.
Cut the paper and copy the pattern on the piece of fabric. When I have darker fabrics I do something my grandmother taught me: I use a small soap leftover. Better than chalk.

"Painted" is not the right word, it was the sheet I have always on my desk for putting paint rests on (hate wasting paint). Carambola is a model I like very much, but rarely liked my folds. Too small paper and inaccurate pentagons. Having gotten Carmen's stencil recently I hoped to achieve better results and yes, I like it better. Even the paper turned out nice.
A wonderful model, thanks for sharing, Carmen!
The Spanish Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת הספרדי, Czech: Španělská synagoga, German: die Spanische
Synagoge) is the newest synagogue in the area of the so-called Jewish Town, yet paradoxically, it was built at the place of the presumably oldest synagogue, Old School (also known as Altshul). The synagogue is built in Moorish Revival Style. Only a little park with a modern statue of famous Prague writer Franz Kafka (by Jaroslav Róna) lies between it and the church of Holy Spirit. Today, the Spanish Synagogue is administered by the Jewish Museum in Prague.
The Spanish Synagogue is not the first synagogue at the site. Before it there stood probably the oldest synagogue in Prague Jewish Town, Altschule. In the second half of 19th century, the capacity of the Altschule did not suffice. The modernist faction in the community, which renovated it in 1837 for the purpose of moderately reformed services, therefore decided to demolish the synagogue in 1867 and one year later it was replaced by the new, Spanish Synagogue. Its name presumably refers to the style in which it was built, Moorish Revival style, which was inspired by the art of Arabic period of Spanish history (this name was not always prevalent, in the beginnings it was usually called by German-speaking Jews Geistgasse-Tempel, i.e. Temple in Holy Spirit Street). The architectural plans were designed by Vojtěch Ignác Ullmann and Josef Niklas (an imposing interior decoration).
In 1935, a functionalistic building, designed by Karel Pecánek, was added to the synagogue. Till the Second World War it served to the Jewish Community as a hospital. The synagogue used the space of the new building as well; there was a vestibule and a winter oratory in it. Since 1935, the appearance of the synagogue remained essentially unchanged.
During the Second World War, confiscated properties of Czech Jewish Communities were stored in the synagogue, e.g. the furniture from other synagogues. Ten years after the war, the synagogue was handed over to the Jewish Museum and in 1958–1959 it was completely restored inside. In the following year an exposition of synagogue textiles was opened there. In the 1970s the building was neglected and after 1982 it remained closed. The restoration started only after the Velvet revolution. Completely restored to its former beauty, the synagogue was re-opened with a ceremony in 1998.
It's so interesting what nature can do....I've never seen this kind of pattern made out of ice.

Silica is dissolved from the underlying Rhyolite by the hot, acidic water and precipitates out as it cools at the surface, forming siliceous sinter and making these intriguing patterns.
It was a cold morning, so the stark white around this hydro-thermal feature is hoar frost.
This shot was taken at a pastry shop in Tel-Aviv. Thi pastry is called Bird Nests and is kind of Kadaif.
