You have outdone yourself.

Whoa Dude! Five joints and you'll never finish that sucker. :rasta:

I knew there was a reason it's taken me two months to get from the last picture to this one...

It was finished a while ago, but I just got around to putting it on Flickr.

Every Christmas I make a few more ornaments for the tree. I made six this year; here are three. The others are hard to photograph, I'll try again later.

Beautiful! I'm having trouble with the scale, how big are those last three? :mg:

The distance from one point on a triangle to the center of the opposite side is the width of the tape I used. For the last three, I used 3/4 inch tape, and for the big one I used 1/2 inch tape. So the little ones are about an inch and a half.

Let's go to the circus!
 

Nothing complicated. I just found some goofy materials...

Jeez, the black and white one is great camo, it really confuses the shape. You should submit that to the Pentagon. :D

Dear Pentagon:

You know all that cash you spend on camo? You should just go to the "Tape for Teenage Girls" section of Office Depot!

HTH, HAND
A Patriot.

Still think these are cool. New additions are neat variations. The zebra one is kind of an optical illusion. OOoooh, make a zebra shaped one with the zebra tape!!! I tried to do this a long time ago, but got too frustrated. So, I'll just enjoy yours. Any new ones on the tree this year?

Scroll up. ;)

Hrm. I never got around to putting up pictures of the other three, and now it's too late; they're in my parents' attic. Maybe next year. They're not all that great anyway - just plain icosahedrons like the circus ones, but filled with snarls of metallic thread. I was hoping for interesting reflections and such, and it kinda worked, but not really.

:smack: I did, and noted 2005 in the post date...thinking that was last Christmas, so of course wanted to know about this year, being 2006. What a dope.

And I work with neurotoxins. Scary.

:mg: Those cubes and ornaments are great! I didn't expect to see such wonderfulness. :)


I just started writing poetry again but I am not ready to show it off yet. :blush:

I must work on displaying some of the other art/craft I dabble into.


Let's see. hummm

Thanks! Please do post any art you do.
