When we started just playing with paper I made my designs starting with paper airplane folds, cootie catchers and making snowflakes. Now I've decided to just work with the snowflake idea but I've kind of turned them into lanterns. I'm thinking it will hang from the lightbulb...but I'm still not sure, it could just sit on the floor or table.
The design I've been working with has been almost tribal like, or like Indian art with a lot of geometric shapes. Then I started doing just slits in paper that was similar to a print I did in my fundamentals of fabrics class last semester. It's a lot of diamonds and just slits in paper that create diamonds, lines patterns and mountain designs.
My professor and I started messing around with making some of the slits fold and giving my paper a 2D and 3D effect. And I really like it.
Here are some photos of some of the models I've done.
