Life by a thousand cuts. I design, cut, and fold geometric paper pop-ups. A sheet of paper hides mysteries.
...and heres the other new multi-pack of DIY small-format templates I just listed on Etsy: the last batch was coplanar; these ones are bulgey, and very satisfying to complete.

My small template multi-packs are the most popular item in my Etsy shop, so I've just added two more of them! Here's kit IV, containing eight new DIY template pdfs, all of coplanar patterns, for lots of cutting and folding fun.

My mom has always been amazingly helpful, supportive, and encouraging of my work. Today is her 80th birthday, and so I made her one of these. Finished it just in time; the frame is on the way. Happy birthday, Mom!

Instead of just showing the pieces I just made, here's a thread about the process. First, I cut and folded one piece of paper. It collapses flat like a pop-up, which is what I originally designed it for, but now I have other ideas for it... /1

Nice pic of the dining room table Ullagami cityscape glittering at night. Thanks to Claude Evans for the image!

The cityscape on the dining room table keeps growing, and glitters at night. For clouds, a mesh of overlapping shadows. Quite the scenic metropolis.

Claude Evans takes more amazing photos ... such different senses of the same model from various angles. #ullagami #kirigami #origamicarchitecture #popup #origami #papercraft #mathart #paper

Some cool 3D printing work from @nebelherz using one of my templates ... I'd like to see it with more complex patterns!

I've been shopping for art supplies at @artmartstl since I was 7 years old. It was part of my neighborhood, and my childhood. And now they're selling Ullagami popup kits!

I've got lots of Ullagami pop-up kits available. 12 different pop-up models, pre-cut, pre-scored, ready-to-fold with complete illustrated instructions.

Experimenting with background. The black board offers clearer contrast and shows the model more clearly; the white one seems softer and catches more gentle shadow. I think I prefer the white.

Excited to be featured in this piece, amongst so many amazing artists!

As previously threatened, I remade this model in A3. Scaling up allowed me the leeway to bezier-distort the entire thing toward the small side, so that the blocks also get narrower toward the point, and wider on the fat edge. I like it much better this way.

I took the last model and mounted it flat. could have made the edges rectilinear, but the model squooshed more naturally this way, and I like the symmetry. #ullagami #kirigami #origamicarchitecture #popup #origami #papercraft #mathart #paper

Haven't designed and folded anything new for a while. So here's this. I cut it from an A4 sheet and it was quite fiddly; next time I'll scale up to A3. #ullagami #kirigami #origamicarchitecture #popup #origami #papercraft #mathart #paper

Dori from Connecticut has been making fun and colorful pop-ups with Ullagami templates, and sent along some pics. Love it! In Dori's words: "a flamboyance of 80 flamingos perched on an ullagami design!!!" #kirigami #origami #mathart

Shout out to Loulou for making this amazing Ullagami how-to demonstration video! She's a very clear explainer and the model she folded looks great!
