Kid Comics 2

I discovered this on TuxPaint over the weekend. Apparently Mimi (6) was making a children's story :)

And a new page:

I wondered if the baby poop would talk too. :)

Origami in 3D

I while back I was thinking about Origami, and the limits of working in three dimensions.

I realized that if you start with a rigid piece of paper, and fold it back on itself, this can create a layered buffer of paper that can be tapped or stored. So, a rigid sheet can be converted into one of virtually limitless elasticity. That means any form that is possible within traditional sculpture (clay, metal, etc) can be built from a single sheet of uncut lamina.

I ran across work by origami artist Joel Cooper that demonstrates this potential on an amazing level.
