Take-Home Architecture

This paper sculpture really puts my humble crane to shame.
Artist Ingrid Siliakus developed this work inspired by the designs of Gaudi and Escher, after she learned about architectural origami developed by Masahiro Chatani. The sculpture is laser-cut then assembled and scored by hand. I spent a solid five minutes staring it before I snapped out of it and decided to share it.
It is available for purchase at Upon a Fold.

Pretty Sharp

I've seen these images on a few of my favourite sites but I had to share it here because they are just too cool. Done by artist Dalton Ghetti (found here), these super minute sculptures are interesting and sweet. And they are done with the lead of the pencils. I didn't even know you could do this with pencil lead but apparently Mr. Ghetti can do it pretty wickedly.
