Celtic Key Pattern Washi Tape Tack Pin

A small square (25mm and about 3mm thick) is carefully wrapped in a bright printed Celtic key or maze pattern in purple, red, and metallic gold. It sits on one edge next to a roll of washi tape with the same pattern against a background of off-white fibrous handmade paper.

Quick 25mm square tack pin made by wrapping a bit of plywood in the new wide Celtic key pattern washi tape.

The Enchanted Forest

A pop up card made from cutting and folding a single sheet of stock depicts a stag standing framed by the convergence of rows of trees receding into the distance. The branches overhead form whirls and spirals. The background is a green textured paper (momigami) with the white card backlit against it.

A lone stag at the focus of a long forest tunnel of wild trees with spiraling branches is my take on a popular origamic architecture/kirigami pop up card theme.
