As I said in the other thread, I was working on linocuts for Christmas Cards, and thought I would create a few SDC inspired prints while I had the supplies out! Here are two so far, I used the same gradation of orange-yellow-orange on both, although I tried several others.

Alright back to the SDC items!
I created this after seeing an artist working with only paper. Using one sheet of paper, I created the Wilderness Church. All of this can be folded back into the flat sheet of paper that it began as. I chose a small scale to highten the degree of difficulty after the original attempt.Remember none of this has been separated from the paper, all is cut, and folded while still attatched.Enjoy!

A Time Lapse Photo from I think 2003/04 Using a 35mm Canon SLR.

Rube-

The time lapse photo is cool, but that little Wilderness Church just blows my mind. I am constantly amazed at how human brains are wired so differently. I wouldn't have even thought of that, let alone have been able to create it. It gives me a headache just thinking about how you did that.

Great stuff!

Also love the "Tower" pic. Perfectly overcast day for that shot. It really makes the picture pop.

Nothing to do, Rube? Looks like you must be caught up with your Christmas shopping.

Could you make patterns for these (Wilderness Church) and sell them?

Nope, my grades were all submitted, but I still had to be at school until 3:00pm! So I began posting some of the many art-esque things I have done to kill time while still physically being present. The church was not too difficult, and with my pattern, anyone could create it. On the other hand, some of the ones that I will post hopefully when they are finished are a bit more challenging in the design aspect. Simply thinking what can be cut, then folded, while still being attached are tough to think about sometimes-even for me. The dark lines on the church were there since this was so small, it posed problems with seeing what I needed to fold. My most challenging part was the front portion/steeple/door. Notice the door folds up to create the overhang. Try it! take a building, flatten it out, and fold it up! Well... you can leave that to me, I will get going on the others as soon as time allows!

That's really great, Rube. It's pure coincidental timing that I just saw this:

Time to step it up. You should be able to do Shad.

I was inspired by an artist like him (possibly him) to try works on one paper. I have another folding model started, that should be done within the week (Hopefully). I never spent much time on the other for the main reason that I lost my template that I created! While I am working on those, I hope to get my photos from today using my Holga camera with the 35mm conversion and a new "fish eye" wide angle lens. developed.

Rough Draft of the Hotel (Hannah's Ice Cream Parlor) I'll add a photo of the constructed piece once I get it folded. I already know there will be some changes.

Apparently I did not enjoy the Saloon show as a young child. My dad gave this picture to me as a gift this Christmas! my old colored...coloring book, and honestly it is one of the best gifts that I could have gotten!
