Creating a last minute anniversary gift for my wife…JBV Creative Style
•••
It’s crazy, but it has been a year since I married my best friend. The theme for a first year anniversary gift is (apparently) paper. Using my laser cutter, I was able to capitalize on the theme, turning a piece of cardboard into a cool Miura fold based card/kinetic art piece.

I started by using the @glowforge to score the Miura pattern into the cardstock. It took some convincing, but I was able to get the cardboard to fold in the chevron like pattern without tearing. The folding in and out of the pattern naturally created a mesmerizing motion, so I decided to work off that, using some string to pull the folds in revealing the ‘secret’ message beneath the fold.

Don’t tell my wife, but I made all this on the day of our anniversary because, well…I forgot (hehe)
