i’m filing this paper sculpture under “things i found on the internet that looked pretty cool and i couldn’t resist trying that very second but i proved to not have enough coordination to finish off”.

i am however exceedingly pleased with my first attempt at an origami box (pdf) from origami.com which worked out pretty well and has sent my mind spinning off into fun christmas pressie ideas and a use for a shop full of interesting looking paper i saw recently that i couldn’t think of a good enough reason to raid at the time.

here are some more pics taken last august, these are mostly of the cathedral in salisbury:

Salisbury is one of the finest medieval cathedrals in Britain. Started in 1220 it was completed by 1258, with the Spire, the tallest in England (123m/404ft) added a generation later.

i don’t think we did much but wander about and take the odd pic in salisbury. we got the worst service ever at pizza express (i knew we should’ve gone to the pizza hut down the road where my sister used to work). only in salisbury, i’ve always had pretty good service at every other pizza express. and i ranted at the time about our horrible hotel in salisbury. it’s a nice place but we got lousy service one way or another.
