Geometric Cut Paper Table Lamp

unikatissima Geometric Cut Paper Table Lamp

I find the idea of the Geometric Cut Paper Table Lamp great: All those beautiful fractal pop-up cards continued ;-)

On the photo you see my version, made from plain printer paper and with a tealight in the middle.
Because the paper is rather light, I’m afraid that the lamp may fall and catch fire, although there is enough place for the tealight.
But anyhow, I find it beautiful ;-)

Something else for an advent calendar: Edible Snowflakes.
You only take ready-made tortillas and cut snowflakes.
Brilliant!

Kirigami Flower

Kirigami Flower

While browsing Origami links I found a tutorial on how to cut Kirigami flowers, a technique we used when we were children for cutting snowflakes.
I hadn’t realized that this technique is so widely usable and brings so beautiful results.
On the photo you see a flower I cut in very short time for a greeting card and suddenly I felt the urge to doodle on it ;-)
Every petal looks different now.
The photo is bad, but I hope that you can see what I am talking about.
