And here's the sixth star (you can see the other five if you scroll back through my posts a bit, they're kinda glowy and hard to miss)!⁠ ⁠ The star book is all set to go out Wednesday! It's got everything you need to know to make the stars (info on the materials and how you fold them and put them together and hang them), plus fold by fold directions for the stars I've posted so far and the two bonus ones that are going in there because we hit our patreon goal!⁠ You know how this works, if you [...]

I've really had more fun with these than I should admit. No seriously, somehow making the book of them as a patreon perk flipped a switch in my brain. They're no longer labeled 'scandalous waste of time, you should be working, stop being a massive slacker and go do something productive.' Instead, they're now labeled 'totally legit use of your time, officially counts as work, spend as much time on them as you like.' And yet, somehow, despite the change of label from recreation to work, they're still tremendous fun. This is actually kind of what I'd hoped setting up [...]

The star book is all set and will be out at the very end of this month! Patrons at any of the tiers where I send you stuff (so that's the Utter, Rampant, or Complete Nonsense tiers) will get the book when it comes out.

(It may be available for sale later, but it will only be available on patreon through [...]

Wanna see how these go together? There's a neat little trick to it... If I were cooler, I'd figure out how to get a video out of instagram and up over here, but we all know I am not that cool. So instead I will have to just sort of point you at it and gesture broadly and say 'it's over there, help yourself.' This is one of the extra fancy stars that I'll be adding to the star book because we hit our  patreon goal! The star book will be out November 30, and anyone on the Utter, Rampant, [...]

Wanna see The Single Most Disappointing behind the scenes photo ever? I mean I'm assuming yes, because people are like that... So the stars? The stars that look achingly beautiful and downright ethereal and almost enchanted once you have them in the window with the light of a brilliant winter sunset streaming through them? The stars that can, through nothing more than geometry and light, make midafternoon sunsets almost bearable? The stars that soothe my very soul with the power of tidiness and order? Yeah...you wanna see how I took photographs of those delicate little slips of joy? Because it's [...]
