Finished the trippy tree thing!!!!!!

I feel like an idiot kuz I forgot to post this last Monday. *facepalm* but me and bre finished the huge triangle thingy. Here are the last few pics of it. Oh and we also counted up the approximate number of origami triangles that we folded, aprox. (Drum roll please) 1,122 triangles!!!!!!! That's pretty impressive if you ask me. All I know is Monday by the time class was over our fingers were hurting from folding the last like 300 black ones. Specially bre. She is a trouper and folded a majority of them while I put them together and glued them down. Burnt my self in the process at least once, but welcome to art school. Right? Lol but I hope you guys like the finished product tell me what you think.



P.S. we won't be showing it in the critique because its gunna be in the show. So go see it there when they put it up and enjoy the pics of the final result and me and bre being goofy while making it. ^^

Fun with work

Sorry I haven't updated anything in FOREVER, but between now and spring break I should be able to catch up with everything.

Anywayz here are a few pics of me and breast time we worked on our project. And some of the triangle chained we put together. The one I was holding up while I was sitting was around 2/3 of my arm spanned. And a persons arm spanned is approx. how tall they are. And I'm 5 foot 8 so you guys can figure out that math. Lol

Instructions how to make triangle pieces

Hey guys this is how you make the triangle pieces bre and I are using to make the tree body. Ill out up instructions how to put them all together later.

1. Fold the "hotdog" style
2. Fold them in half again in the middle
3. Fold the side flaps down along the center crease so it looks like triangleish
4. Open the middle crease
5. Fold outer corners of the extra tabbies inwards
6. Fold he tabbies in
7. Refold the middle crease again so it is in e shape of a triangle


This may take a few times to get right but keep trying. Hope the instructions and the pics helped!!

Project 1

I know I haven't put anything on this yet, I've never used a blog before so I'm not super exited about this. But me and bre are working on this so far and I have most of the stuff. This is what I have done so far. We finished most of the back plate and the tree rings part. Now we just have to finish folding the index cards and put them all together to make the tree. Wish us luck!!

P.S. the dear head pic is kinda what the tree part is gunna kinda be like. Just a tree not a dear.
