in my pursuit of an all-paper icehouse set, i discovered a new variant of the stacker stash box! the Pyramides Papyrium box is long enough for a full plastic stash, or *four* paper stashes, and it uses *no glue!* Eat your heart out, ee0r.

I'll post the print files on my website later; remind me if I forget!

a long rectangular paper box labeled "Pyramides Papyrium", approximately latin for "paper pyramids".
the box full of plastic pyramids, 15 in total.
the box full of paper pyramids, 64 in total, more than four sets of fifteen!

here's a fun trick: I arranged these shapes I want to cut such that, after tracing the edges with knifebot, I can slice the page with a regular straight line cutter, and be left with a 9x6" area suitable for a catalog envelope.

a page showing the outlines of four unfolded pyramids, arranged so that they fit inside a 9x6 rectangle. a matching envelope is shown for reference.

hey WAIT A MINUTE. knifebot can knife things besides stickers! I can use this to automate the hard part of the origami pyramids!

I redesigned the pattern so that the cuts are harder but the folds are easier, because knifebot is going to do the cutting for me!

#ArtAdventCalendar - Dec 20th. Traditional Art (4/4)

(Almost) Every year, some dear friends from Duisburg/Cologne are handcrafting these paper stars to send out to their dear ones. I feel honoured to be counted among them. This wall is now documenting almost twenty years of shared experiences. And they say connections made on the internet do not last...
Number 15 is the first blue one.

A dark green wall with fourteen paper stars pinned to it with string. Each star is a variation of 5- to 10 pointed shapes of different colours layered upon each other. They very much in style and colour, though red and yellow are dominating.
the new one is the first in blue. They say the descision is due to available colours in the local store. But it's the first after their move to a new form of living, so their might be more to it subconciously.
