PAPER DONUT


At last, the long awaited post #101. Here she is, I'll skip right to the good stuff.







Came across this lovely paper design by Maria Garcia Monera and Juan Monterde (pattern here + the coolest flickr ever). 24 crescents come together to form a delightfully mesmerizing donut shape - or more accurately, a 'torus'. I found great joy in learning about this geometric surface which is created by a 2D closed circle (or curved shape) revolved around an axis to form a 3D solid. Cool stuff right there. Well, here's a paper torus and I like it a lot. *Apologies for the out of focus image, it's not easy to drop what you're doing to take process shots when you're as excited as I was*
Mathy!
