Paper Christmas Trees by Maho Motoyama

From single sheets of green paper, Los Angeles-based designer Maho Motoyama devises a veritable forest of Christmas tree-shaped boxes. Ranging from a few basic folds to elaborate, multifaceted constructions, each evergreen has a personality of its own based on its tiers and twists. Every one, of course, is topped with a bright yellow star.

Motoyama has built a following for his intricate box-folding templates, creating tiny, hollow structures in a wide range of geometric shapes. Through painstaking precision and a puzzle-like approach to creating unique pieces, form takes precedence over function.

Day 4500! 12, 328 days ago, I started this silly blog, intending to post something every day, and I have, almost. When I don't, some of you check on me. ;o)

I am currently in Henderson where th skies are so blue, the temperature is in the 60's, which thy tell me is 10' higher than usual. So a bit chilly, 2-3 sweatshirts, but the sun is hot!

Grand-dog, Zoey and I go outside and bake in the sun until for minutes until we start to fry, then we come back inside. That's about it for my exercise. I do tag along with WW when she has errands.

Last week WonderWoman, Cheryl, Carole and I had a birthday lunch at R&D Kitchen in Fashion Island, Newport Beach, CA.

I only took pictures of my sandwich, a Carnitas Sandwich, slow roasted pork, pepper jack cheese, coleslaw, on a homemade bun ...

So good, I probably haven't worked it off yet! We had reservations and got the back corner table, ww think it's the best. I was fascinated by the light above our table.
