Jellogami

I'm not very good at folding origami.  I struggle with the wordless 300+ step directions needed to make just about anything.  I'm too impatient to interpret the images.  I find the dotted lines and curly arrows confusing.  Plus, I struggle with mentally rotating images.  Because of my white belt origami status, I bow down to those crazy amazing black belt folders.  I also bow down to the dexterous hands (and brains) behind My Jello Americans.

Folding paper?  Tres Tricky.  Folding jello?  Well, who could have imagined that?

Wallflowers

Aren't these images lovely?
Where does artist Cecilia Paredes end and the environment begin?

What a perfectly placed chrysanthemum

I almost didn't spot her... until I saw the whites of her eyes

There's something so intimate about the curve of a woman's back


First spotted on dear golden vintage blog

New skill

Is the post office looking for a new stamp-licker?  We have someone here who is willing to work for a bottle of milk...or some hugs.
