Hm. The links include the images in preview.

Those are really nice despite the vintage.

You're slipping HM, finger prints on the gold tsk tsk.
Ha, just kidding, beautiful as usual, both design and execution.

I love the addition of wire sculpting into your already formidable talents. Very cool.

A cicada-wing inspired one:

Cicada

I made and cut a pattern using a Silhouette Portrait, then made a simple icosahedron.

You nailed it.

He taped it.

Cool! Neat pattern, too.

You lie, there's no such thing as a SIMPLE icosahedron.
So no cicadas were harmed in the creation of this art.

I know they're fragile and would all be crushed, but I can't help imagining a ball pit full of Happy Monkey -hedrons that I could dive into like Scrooge McDuck.

LOL!

Thanks all!

Not even an option unfortunately. Weather turned cool, and the critters hit the snooze button. I've only seen one nymph and a couple husks.

We have one telephone pole that's about 3 blocks away, and there must be a steam pipe or something running under it because there were scores of them on a pile of sticks in the nearby gutter, in the grass, and all over the pole. None to be seen anywhere else.

I can believe it, I can think of occasions where the promise and smell of sex made me forget how cold my environment was... until later.

But tapecraft, saw a GIF of a blob of spinning pentagrams.

4 screen grabs.

You can use those shells...

Hideous. But I guess you need a hobby.

My god, I think the bottom right one is part of his hand!

Heh, I'll stick with public masturbation.

I got a CMYK cube; it's sort of cool. And it inspired me to buy some color filters, and make a CMYK ball.
(both misnomers; there's no K in either)

Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow panels make Red, Green, and Blue when combined.
(K in CMYK stands for "key" and means blacK, in printing terms)

TIL see above, neat.

**Posted by xoxoxoBruce** 6/12/2021 1:55 am

Neat, the opposite three.
