Art of the outside world. “The pattern of the kirigami was the key to dropping objects straight down … in the field of materials, kirigami is a great source of inspiration (Gosselin).” The Mainichi: Parachute inspired by traditional Japanese paper art could assist in humanitarian aid. Hat tip to Helen Hiebert Studio: The Sunday Paper #580, second entry.

Hexagonal Weaving, part of The Paper Year by Helen Heibert.
Perennial Pastimes: Learning to Weave with Fabric Strips: Triaxial Tumbling Block/Madweave Pattern
Three strands. Weaving with two strands is child’s play. Literally. How many of us made those cheesy woven potholder squares? Weaving with three strands will break your brain.
Three strands with one fixed. The dark blue is a sheet of paper with slits. Done al lib with reminders from the Perennial Pastimes post above, and – I think – from a demo by Heibert at some point. Or I made it up. Slightly easier. Either because it was second or because the verticals were immobilized.
Note. In all three, the yellow strips go from lower right to upper left and the green strips go from lower left to upper right, Yet the second and third patterns came out differently. I either need to do a lot more of this, or to walk away and not look back.
How The Sausage Is Made, Paper Arts
Reason for the change of plan last month. This was the intended post. I changed my mind & pulled up one from the vault. [Fire Hydrants, Street Art]
Original plan was to do many paper art posts in the last part of this year, so that I could Get My Money’s Worth from my Paper Year subscription. Then I decided to keep going next year. I wasn’t doing as much as I might with it, but I had enjoyed the parts I did. Which took the presure off and I figured variety in Sunday posts would be more entertaining. For both of us.
So, you will still be getting much paper art, just spread out.
Onwards!
