The Hart of Winter is my 2016 holiday origamic architecture / kirigami / pop up card. The card is three pieces. The two silver pieces mount to the base with slotting tabs then, connect together via interlocking antlers. These were fun and relatively easy to build and, a big hit!
I have been making chicken tracks around integrating paper electronics with origamic architecture for several years. This is my first presentable project along that line.
I’ve had a vague idea for a garden lantern OA for quite some time. The electronics seemed like a solid match for this. The lantern itself it is a single piece of stock, cut, scored, folded and joined on two edges to make a pop up. It is mounted on two additional flat base layers that incorporate and conceal the electronics.
This uses an integrated switch and has no externally-visible electronic components, which I haven’t seen in any other paper electronics projects elsewhere yet.
The closed card is 11cm by 16cm. The lantern is 4cm square at the base and ~5cm tall when opened.
Watch the video to see the candle flicker effect and, to see it folded flat.
The “ambient nocturnal background sounds” in the video is another one of my multi-track recording experiments.
Special thanks to Natalie Freed whose paper electronics class at HSL shortened my learning curve with the paper electronics stuff. Thanks also to Jie Qi for her inspiring projects and, to the team at Circuit Stickers whose efforts made my project a lot easier.
I made an edited build video for the Helical Heart pop up cards, including an original taiko soundtrack (well, pentatonic xylophone, mokogyo, bowl gong, bells and fish rasp, anyway). This is my first YouTube video and, my first multi-track audio recording. Let me know what you think and, if you would want to see more stuff like this.

Happy New Year!
I have managed to get a little time in the stud.io to play with my origamic architecture projects over the holidays. In keeping with the time-honored tradition of striving to foster a bit of wonder for the recipients, I won’t post an image of the newest holiday card just yet.
I though, however, you might enjoy seeing the 2014 new year’s card, previously unseen online.
