Krigagami

Krigagami is my obsession of the week. It's basically origami (which i also LOVE and wish i did more of) but after you make the folds, you take out your handy dandy scissors and cut away. this is a scan of the paper i cut this morning (from my krigagami-a-day calendar) & this made me 10 minutes late for work because i HAD to see how it would come out!
