I'M BLOGGING AGAIN ALREADY!
And It's only been 6 days!
Wow.
*holds out hand to quiet loud applause*
;D
I have found a new interest.
(big surprise)
Brace yourselves for another long name:
~Origami Architecture~
Ok, not that long.
I was searching for origami, when I ran across an inspiring photo.
Amazing.
Sadly, there is no free pattern.
After I recovered from this sad fact, I set about searching for more creations, but with free patterns.
My search, (rather unsuccessful) eventually morphed into a pop up cards search. Not sure how I got of onto a rabbit trail like that.
But I did.
I wasn't looking for simple pop up cards. Something more like this or this.
Yes, I definitely was nuts to think I could even try to make something like that.
Also,
these patterns were created by a Ingrid Siliakus.
A leading artist in this type of work.
Apparently she doesn't want to give them away free. ;P
So, I had to find something else.
Easier,
but not too easy.
Hm.
Most artists wanted to sell their patterns in books.
Sigh.
I finally found a great website: Baud and Bui.
Free, downloadable patterns.
Not too hard.
Not too easy.
:D
My first attempt:
A pagoda
I thought it looked pretty neat...Sadly, it isn't pop up.
It just....stands there collecting dust.
It sure looks neat, though.:D
After that, I found another site with some free patterns.
It's in Spanish (I think...), so I can't read it, but I could still figure out the diagrams!
It's called:
Libros
The patterns are a bit harder.
:)
The best patterns I found were at the bottom of the most recent post.
Here is a city/town mirror image.
Turned out better than the pagoda.
*nods*
The last place I found was this blog.It has a few neat patterns, and lot's of other neat craft ideas!
Anyway...
I have now journaled my quest for Origami Architecture patterns.
If anyone finds any other good sites with free patterns,
I would LOVE to know about them!!!
Maybe I'll just have to buy a book from those artists who won't give free patterns away...
;D
Another post about Valentines to come shortly!
(I hope...)
