Time for the annual pop-up holiday card!

#PopUpCard #OrigamicArchitecture #PaperArt #Kirigami #Butterfly
Somewhat stylized kirigami pop up pearlescent white paper butterfly with Celtic spiral designs cut into the wings. There is a flower design cut into the base, which allows the cobalt blue backing card to show through for the petals. Three-quarters above right view.

I converged with a canal for the last night of the #CanalConvergence light-up art festival in #Scottsdale #AZ!
A 20-foot-high, 330-foot-long spiraling tube floats on a canal, viewed diagonally across the frame. The spiral is lit from within, starting with red on the left and cycling through orange, yellow, green, and blue going up and to the right. The spiral is reflected in the water. It is dark (nighttime). There is a building partly visible and one can vaguely make out crowds of people along the banks of the canal, behind railings.

In the spirt of the season, here is another edition of “sometimes they get out.”

#TombTuesday #NOLA #Photography #FilmPhotography #Taphophile
A three-quarters view of the front of a reddish two vault plastered brick tomb. A tall gated iron fence, rails topped with spikes, surrounds the tomb. The gate is partly opened. Both vaults have been smashed open, with rubble and brick on the ground in front. The open vaults disappear into darkness.

A stroll along the perimeter of one of the St. Louis Cemeteries in New Orleans for this final #TombTuesday of October.

#NOLA #Photography #FilmPhotography #Taphophile
A row of six white-ish marble and plaster tombs, all but one with wrought iron fences around the front proceed into the distance diagonally across the frame from left to right. The tombs are all heavily weathered with a dark patina of age and cracks in the walls and roofs. The fence around the second closest tomb is topped with iron fleur-de-lis. Inset carved marble plaques of the second and third tombs read “Famille Joseph Cirol.” The path in front of the tombs is a patchy mix of asphalt and grass, scattered with fallen leaves.

A tall, thin metallic copper four-sided pyramid with curvy organic cut outs on each face sits on a slightly pearlescent dark blue surface. The pyramid is lit from the inside, visible through the cut outs, with the light diffracted into rainbow shards. Three-quarter view from a little above, highlighting one face of the pyramid.

Rapidly turning from bright bronze to black helped foster supernatural tales surrounding the angel, including stories of lightning strikes, infidelity, and murder. Students at the U trade legends about the lethality of disrespecting the statue.

#TombTuesday #Photography #FilmPhotography #Taphophile
Black and white image: side view of the blackened bronze angel sculpture. Her right arm and wing are raised as she looks down. A Bohemian (Czech) inscription on the side of the base translates to: “The sun and clouds stood above my journey There were tough and joyful days in my life. You did my work just to make the world better. You fold your hands and your head goes down. Your spirit flies away where everlasting reward Is waiting for you after hardship.”

The famous black angel in Oakland Cemetery in Iowa City. Artist Mario Korble created this for Teresa Dolezal Feldevert to watch over the grave of her son. Though no one was left to add her year of death, she is buried here with her 2nd husband.

#TombTuesday #Photography #FilmPhotography #Taphophile
Black and white image: an almost cubic concrete base is topped with a bronze angel with a dark black patina. Her right arm and wing are raised as she looks down. Relief letters on the base spell out “RODINA FELDEVERTOVA” (Czech for “The family Feldevert”). Below that is carved “Nicholas Feldevert 1825-1914” and “Teresa Feldevert 1888 -.“ An adjacent grave is sculpted to look like a tree stump with a sign on it: Eddie Dolezal Like a bud just opening Commenced my life to be But dead came without mercy Without pity The Lord had sent for me I was not granted time to bit adieu Do not weep for me, dear mother. I am at peace in my cool grave. In the background, graves and trees are scattered across the lawn.

Jennie Roosevelt Pool was a cousin of President “Teddy” Roosevelt. Her sister, Katherine Babcock, chose this 7-ton Carrera marble statue, a 1911 reproduction by Antonio Bernieri of the “Angel of Grief Over the Dismantled Altar of Life” in Rome by William Wetmore Story to mark her sister’s grave.
An angel, hair pulled back, is draped over a simple curved four-sided pedestal, set atop four tiered slabs. A carved wreath features prominently on the front of the pedestal. The angel’s feet trail down the slabs, and the wings are forward around the pedestal. The slab touching the ground is concrete and the rest of the tomb is white marble. Engraved on the front of the second slab is “ETERNAL REST.” The third tier bears the name “JENNIE ROOSEVELT POOL.”

For this week’s crossover #TombTuesday I bring you an absolutely disconsolate weeping angel!

Père Lachaise Cemetery was established in Paris in 1804 to help replace the Cimetière des Innocents, which was closed due to overcrowding. It is now the final home of more than a million Parisians (perhaps, as many as 4 million, depending on how you count).

A three-quarter view of neat rows of white/grey marble tombs behind a line of tree on one side of a broad pathway. Early fall leaves litter the ground. One monolith-style tomb features a pale green bust. Others are topped by marble crosses. Several have ironwork entry gates. A rounded rectangular urn near the center of the image is filled with flowers in different shades of pink.

It's the time of year when the veil separating social networks thins: crossover #TombTuesday

This wonderful structure stands at Grace Episcopal Church in Saint Francisville, LA. It is one of the oldest Protestant churches in the area, the surrounding cemetery is reputed to be thoroughly haunted.
A decaying brick-and-clay tomb, cracked almost in half vertically stands in the middle ground, atop a leaf-littered lawn and against a dense backdrop of trees. A Primitive culvert in the foreground is barred by an old ironwork grate.

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

A small pin in the shape of a pumpkin made from orangey padauk with ribs of inlaid walnut and a white oak stem resting on a background of green paper along with a bottle cap and the end of a pencil to show scale.

Experiment for the OpenPress Project+Haus des Papers Rising Print exhibit: embossed off-center Celtic spiral. I did this using a plate of glued-up laser-cut MDF on a heavyweight Arches paper using the OpenPressProject’s Postcard Printing Press.

An off-center counter-clockwise tapering spiral surrounded by twelve small circles is embossed on a small (70mm) square of toothy paper. It sits on a background of crinkled blue paper (momigami).

Chocolate miso ice cream with a sprinkle of black garlic powder! I almost made it through the summer without an odd ice cream experiment. Despite your likely expectations, this is very good!

#Cooking #IceCream
A small square white bowl sits on a surface of crinkled blue paper (momigami). In the bowl is an eccentric scoop of chocolate brown ice cream prinkled with tiny dark black particles.

My friend Georgie came up with a clever thing to do with some of my washi tape. These origami “lucky stars” are pretty easy to make, and look cool with the Celtic art washi tape.

#CelticArt #CelticDesign #Origami #WashiTape
A number of small origami stars made from Celtic art washi tape. Three use my Squared Spirals key pattern in metallic gold, deep purple, and red. Two use my first key pattern washi tape in shades of blue and metallic gold. One slightly larger star is blue with lighter blue spirals with metallic gold accents. They are scattered on a background of off-white crinkled (momigami) paper.

Here is an even-closer still of the light-up icosahedron.

Close-up showing parts of three faces of an ~8cm icosahedron made from a metallic copper card stock. A triangular key pattern is cut through the copper and backed with translucent panels. The translucent areas of the key pattern are lit from behind.

I made this light-up icosahedron awhile back. Someone elsewhere asked for a close-up, and I thought I would share it here, too.

Having done the spiral with the Olympia typewriter, I had to do something similar with the Underwood. Here is a Celtic triskelion!
