This is a recursive version of Shuzo Fujimoto’s Scissors (CFW 87). I wanted to call it Biohazard Fractal since it resembles the biohazard symbol, but later decided to stay with the name Fujimoto used for his base model.
I am not sure whether Fujimoto was aware of the possibility of extending his original CFW 87 design into a fractal. I discovered that a number of his molecules can be fractalized this way (pictures coming up) but the only example of him using such a procedure is the Lucky Star Fractal which is derived from CFW 88 (Hemp Leaf) in a similar manner. Since I was aware of Lucky Star Fractal and it still took me quite a while to realize that the process could be generalized to other molecules, unless I find firm evidence to the contrary, I will assume Fujimoto did not know of the other fractal designs.
While Lucky Star Fractal has six-fold symmetry, Scissors has only tri-fold symmetry. This means that each consecutive level of the fractal can be rotated relative to the previous one in two ways rather than one. The model presented here uses consistent rotation on all levels. Another highly symmetric possibility is alternating the direction every other level (pictures coming up). However, the direction for each level is independent, so completely random assignment is possible as well.
Since the outermost level of the fractal resembles the base molecule from which it is derived, it shares its properties in that it can be tessellated. Due to the way layers of paper lock together, this molecule is harder to fold than Lucky Star Fractal, especially at deeper levels. Since accessing those deep layers requires opening up the molecule significantly, tessellating it will probably also be quite challenging in practice.

After coloring her own scissors she went to get her grandmother's scissors and it seemed the perfect shot to feature them both together.

and i'll keep on running this neverending race
This is a re-edit of a photo I recently uploaded. It actually is more of a crop than an edit. I think it actually works now.
Lately I've come running up against my own wall again and again. It's someplace in my mind that I want to let go and I just can't seem to bring myself to shove it all the way out. And this got me thinking about how often we are our own worst enemies in that we have things in our lives we want to change desperately, and we HAVE the tools to do it... yet, day after day and sometimes year after year we refrain. I know for me it's because change is scary. The devil you know is still the devil in some way, right?
While wandering around the levee one day (because for some reason I've recently become obsessed with its winding mounds - they seem magical) I found this amazing tree. And I can't tell you how excited I am to go back and climb in its branches and play some more.
Underexposed this one running sunny sixteen, definitely gloomy and had opened up but not enough still, I like to think it adds character.

This week's theme was: H is for Hairdresser.
I haven't actually been a hairdresser for decades. I always wore my hair long and even now it doesn't grow so well, it's a long bob. I just trim the ends myself, so I suppose I'm my own hairdresser. :-)

Although there is no archaeological evidence, the earliest known "scissors" are attributed to the Mesopotamian period 3,000 to 4,000 years ago. These early scissors were more like shears and consisted of a single U-shaped piece used to cut the skins and hair of animals in a rudimentary way.

Why is it we call a single, a pair, in the case of scissors? When I was a kid, we had one pair of scissors, and with seven kids, that really seems like not enough.... but we always knew to return them to the basket by the phone in the dining room. Funny the memories a challenge can bring back. ODC: pair
I spotted those hung on the rusty nail in an abandoned cottage on Flotta, one of Orkney's islands. How long could they have been there for?
