Isn’t this maaadness?
This paper cut, designed after M.C. Eschers picture ‘Relativity’, is made from cardboard of about 22 x 28 cm without any adhesive.
And the maker has been so kind as to offer the diagram to everybody!
Thanks!

I find these folded pictures really great – but somehow I didn’t have the heart to make it yet ;-)
Somewhen…

Have you ever tried to mail a CD? It should be well packed and if you don’t have a plastic casing (or don’t like them) you can simply make a robust CD case from TetraPak.
I find this a great idea!

This sewn wall hanging would bring me good-humoured through snowy and rainy days – I really should make it for myself and put it on my wall ;-)
Once I had the Kaleidocycles book from M.C.Escher and I even folded some of the kaleidocycles, but then I never thought about it any more.
Until I found the page where you can let make kaleidocycles from your own potos.
If you want to see a kaleidocycle in action, look at the M.C.Escher Kaleidocycles the middle picture.
Or look at one of the videos in internet.
You can also read more about kaleidocycles or simply look at photos of them.
But best is making one yourself and to ‘spin round’ ;-))

I really like these faux postages, I find that they make an impact on a card e.g.
And it doesn’t seem too difficult to make them ;-)

Whether you find the picture beautiful is a matter of taste (she made others that I find more beautiful), but the instruction surely is helpful if you have similar ideas.

I really like this little purse!
The content she put into the little purse isn’t meant for children but no one will press-gang you to pack the same things ;-)
You can find a scan of her template a little bit down the entry, with this you can make your own little paper purse – as gift wrap or for daily use is completely up to you ;-))

I really like these cards: ‘cuttle’ is the name of the animal and sounds like ‘cuddle’ ;-)
You can send them definitely not only on Valentine’s Day ;-)

This time I find the title absolutely convenient: I find this pop up really fantastic!
Note: The PDF links can’t be reached anymore, apparently amongst other things because of copyright infringements.
After all we have to buy the book ourselves :)
