Conceal Pop Up Orihon

This little orihon (folding book) conceals a few secrets, among them not one but two different pop ups and two different colors of light.

I made a two-color Celtic-styled fox print with a 3D-printed press for the 2026 Open Press Project Open Print Exchange.

I made a curvy potion bottle with a Celtic knotwork stopper rubber stamp for swatching fountain pen inks using the laser.

I made a walnut pen rack with inlaid padauk off-center Celtic spirals to wrangle the growing collection of Retro 1951 pens on my desk.

I made a stand for my Jacques Herbin glass dip pen with laser-cut pieces of green glass acrylic and a custom heat bending form.

I laser engraved a few Retro 51 Classic Lacquer pens, and made fun modified hexagonal boxes to wrap them for holiday gifts.

A small (2.5″/63mm) purple gift box with Celtic knots engraved on the faces and conforming inserts to hold the contents firmly in place.

This pop up butterfly with Celtic spirals cut from pearlescent white stock with a cobalt blue backing was my 2024 holiday card.

I made a light-up pyramid pop up card with diffraction grating diffusers, and an improved switch mechanism for #LightUpPopUpTober!

I made some padauk, walnut, and white oak pumpkin pins to try out a new (to me) advanced wood inlay technique!
