⭐️Stardog Puzzle Purse!💫 by e.k.mosley (Letter or Valentine) Origami This was my first time making a puzzle purse and I had so much fun painting each little picture on all the hidden folds. These beautiful little paper creations can be dated back to Japanese paper folding techniques called tatogami and origami from Japan’s Heian era (782-1185 CE). In Japan they were called Tato and used to hold small objects like buttons, stamps, needles, thread and other small bits and bobs. But when they started coming over to the west, people began drawing pictures on them and using them to write secret messages and love letters. The Victorian’s called them Puzzle Purses and were particularly fond of gifting them on Valentine’s Day. Today puzzle purses remain a fun way to send a magical letter to friends, family and loved one all year round, for all sorts of holidays and special occasions. I hope you enjoy folding your own Stardog Puzzle Purse to keep little treasures in. • Photos are of the original handprinted puzzle purse and the front and back of the digital files • Format - pdf download (and jpgs of front and back) • Pdf can be printed as many times as you wish and on any paper you like. It will print and fold well on standard printer paper but can also be printed on to heavier art papers (250gsm-300gsm) • Print either double sided or as two sheets and stick back to back. • To fold please look up instructions on how to fold a victorian puzzle purse.

The idea for this lesson came from an image I saw on Pinterest.. but after doing some investigative work - seems to have originated from the blog Art. Paper. Scissors. Glue and before that from the 1991 book written by Sara Beggs, "The No Nonsense Guide to Teaching Art." For this lesson we began by taking about what symmetry is and the difference between linear symmetry (1 line of symmetry) and radial symmetry (more than 1 line of symmetry). Then we talked about what a sculpture is (a piece of artwork you can see from all sides - it is 3-dimensional) and what a relief "sculpture" is (a piece of artwork that has depth on the surface but is not meant to be seen from all sides). Once students understood the principles behind radial symmetry and sculpture we began creating our very own radial paper relief sculptures! Students started by folding a piece of 12"x12" black construction paper diagonally both ways and vertical and horizontally (to create an 'X' crease and a '+' crease). Making these creases makes creating a radial design SO much easier because it gives you guidelines to work with. Once their papers had been folded and their names written, we sat them aside. Before having students begin folding their colored paper (each piece was cut to 3" x 3") to fill the inside of their design, I demonstrated 4 folds to them to get them started. *Students were allowed to deviate from these folds if they wanted to. To download the handout below, click on the arrow button in the top right corner (this will open it in a new window). You can download from there. My kids absolutely LOVED this project! They are already super into origami, so this project was like heaven to them! :) You might also be interested in checking out my Paper Poinsettia Sculpture lesson which uses the same basic concepts.

Hay una cuerda floja o más bien un cordón umbilical, que une el libro con cada lector. Esto es lo que hace que cada lectura sea única y exclusiva. Pero es bueno poder compartir con otros lectores que ha significado para nosotros esa lectura. Y este diálogo es el que teje y da sentido a la lectura. Con los libros de imágenes esta experiencia es aún más necesaria, leerlos primero a solas, como leemos textos, pero también contar e interpretar con los demás. Sobre este punto de partida se tejieron cada uno de los caminos que conformaron el mapa de les Jornades de Laboratoris de lectura en la Biblioteca Roca Umbert de Granollers. El camino del espíritu crítico (a cargo de Vicente Ferrer, editor de Media Vaca), El camino de la sensibilidad poética (Joan Rioné, autor teatral y editor), El camino del humor, el ingenio y la ironía (Arianna Squilloni, editora de A buen paso), El camino de la educación visual (Marta Ardite, galería Ilustrarium) y el camino de lo experimental y las ganas de descubrir (Juanjo Oller, Milimbo). Leer primero, partiendo de una simbología común a todos, los cuentos y la tradición oral. Contar utilizando únicamente imágenes, darles el valor de símbolo para que otros después las puedan leer y entender nuestra historia. Esta fue nuestra elección, una vez más. El camino de la síntesis, el que rehúsa el decoro, porque no hay que despistar si queremos contar solo con imágenes, hay que llegar al final del camino. En nuestro taller mostramos aquellos libritos, pliegues y demás experimentos que se quedan como parte del proceso pero que nos ayudan y nos dan luz sobre qué caminos elegir. Es muy interesante el trabajo que hacen desde la Biblioteca Roca Umbert, diseñando, organizando y apostando por otros caminos con estas Jornadas. Os animamos a que visitéis su web y consultéis los vídeos que han grabado de anteriores ediciones. Muchas gracias a Gloria, Anna y todo su equipo. Y por supuesto a todos los participantes de los Talleres. A Marta Roig por cedernos algunas de estas fotos tan bonitas de este post. En este enlace de Flickr hay más fotos.

David Huffman’s curved-crease models are elegant, beautiful, and illustrative of Huffman’s fascination with curved creases. Huffman’s death in 1999 left us without his deep understanding, but his many models and notes provide a glimpse into his thinking. This paper presents reconstructions of some of David Huffman’s curved crease patterns and models, aiming to recover his insight and uncover the mathematical beauty underlying the artistic beauty. These initial reconstructions represent the beginning of an ongoing project with the Huffman family to study and document David Huffman’s work in folding.
