Pop-up Mechanism Booklet

Continuing my latest obsession with pop-ups, watching a ton of videos on different mechanisms, my goal is to understand the differences well enough so that I can create pieces intuitively using Zentangle patterns. Many thanks to fantastic paper engineers that post instructional videos online such as Duncan Birmingham and Matthew Reinhart.

Skyline on Phi Class and Pop-up card

Today Art Clubbers worked on Part 2 of a class called Skyline on Phi. This is based on the design of my friend Debora Augusto who kindly granted me permission to teach it. We completed most of the line-art on Part 1 and shading in Part 2. The blog also shows the video of my latest pop-up card I made based on the same concept.

Zentangle Sampler Pop-up

Continuing my new obsession with pop-ups and paper mechanics. While practicing some tangles I created this tiny 3x3 inches (8x8cm) handmade paper pop-up card using Zentangle tangles such as Cadent, Nik (Bunny Wright) and Mooka.

Skyline over Ocean

A few weeks ago one my friends suggested a “skyline” string over a mass of water. I used mooka3d, Alfie (Angie Gittles), Nik (Bunny Wright) and Dillo-tant (Lisa Goldman). I wonder if the buildings are emerging or submerging? :-)

Puppy Hugs Landscape

Another landscape came out of my pen! I can’t seem to get away from them. I meant to use Huggins (for the To You Tangle event) but my pen botched it and created Puppy Hugs instead. This is Martha’s tangleation of Huggins, introduced in 2022.

Purk and Spention

Daily meditation included Purk, Spention (Emily Houtz), Mysealiam, Nik (Bunny Wright) and more. A very interesting result, strange, but I like it. Makes me wonder, what's happening here? Is someone entering or leaving?
