Happy new year everyone! I’m just getting back into things after a nice break for the Holidays. Lots of visiting friends and family. Now it’s lots of catching up on random tasks. And, after a really mild December we had our first brace of truly cold weather. Eight degrees this morning, brrr. But still no snow.
It’s been a while since I posted anything about origami and my new book, so I bet you’re wondering what’s up with that. Well, I’ve been continuing to chip away at designing and diagramming new models, and I finally came to an agreement with my publisher about the kind of paper to use in the new book for folding. Next step was to come up with some sample graphic designs to use on the sheets. This task was hanging out there for a while, because I didn’t really have a concept for how to proceed. Mostly I knew the kind of designs I didn’t want.
I finally found a source of inspiration in a geeky cookbook that Michelle got for Christmas, which included some space-themed cakes and cookies. And then today I finally had the time to sit down and work out the designs, print them out, fold the models, refine and repeat. Hopefully my publisher is on board with the direction and we can get this show on the road. Meanwhile go ahead and enjoy these pics.
