2014: A year of bits and pieces ... without any real connection or theme.

I am particularly pleased with Kite, because of its utter simplicity, and with Temple of the Winds, which is my first new macro-modular design since Slide in 2010.

I spent much of the Summer producing diagrams and other material for a book of origami Pokemon, the designs for which were created by Janessa Munt.
