Thanks!

Well, I didn't win. But here are my entries in a much easier to find location:

HM, your work is dazzling as always. Thanks for sharing it.

I see you work in very regular triangles, have you ever considered something that isn't an enclosed (roughly spherical) piece? I think the math geek in your would be able to produce some lovely flower shapes based on the Fibonacci series, like perhaps a sunflower seed head.

Thanks!

I am working on something that isn't spherical or fully enclosed, but it is regular.

Unfortunately, my chosen medium is somewhat limited. Natural shapes (sunflowers, snails) work because the size of the components get progressively smaller as you go in, and I've only got a few sizes of tape. And tape only folds cleanly into certain regular shapes.

I've made a few freeform objects, but they haven't really inspired me.

BigV 12-19-2010 07:28 PM

You're welcome.

I can imagine triangles, squares, pentagons. From this set, many others can be assembled. Do you work strictly with only one width of tape per project?

Happy Monkey 12-19-2010 11:54 PM

Pretty much, otherwise the edges don't match.

You could sell them, and give 10% to charity (aka The Cellar). I'll be the first to put my order in for 3 strings, on the house of course since this was my idea ... :)

Unfortunately, LabRat is gone, but many years later, I finally made a string of them (the whilte ones are the new ones).

Serendipity carries the day... that's a nice display

Most excellent!

I love them!

My plan for this year's Off the Roll contest. I haven't entered yet, as I'm still figuring out how to photograph it.

Your plans look even more complicated than the final product.

Where's the directions ?

Happy Monkey 01-22-2011 10:14 AM

See that blue fuzzball at the top? Each intersection is made of six isosceles right triangles, as shown (you can zoom in through flickr). The double-lined edges meet their opposing member on the other side. What more direction could you possibly need?

Griff 01-22-2011 10:50 AM

Your ways frighten and confuse me.
