It's the rainbow möbius strip!!!

It is such a nice stim toy! I love the colors, I love the sorting of the colors! I love the weight of the metal of these foldback clamps! I like the feeling of tension of the thick paper strip inlay! I love those metal handles standing out! I love those unloud but hearable clicking sounds of these metal handles!

I love the haptics! I love the colors! I love that it is an object from one of my special interests (math: topology). I love everything about it!

I love how quickly it is done!

I love that I can also use this strip as storing tool for the foldback clamps as well! (It can also be flattened relatively quickly. The strip just needs to be opened.)

A box full of colorful words:

Colorful word of today:

Joy (in different greens on a neon green paper folded into 5 parts - 3 parts with letters plus 2 empty parts on the left and on the right of the letter string/word)

[I associate "joy" with green, because I associate green with lightheartedness, hope, nature and the accompanied "Life finds its way" . Furtherly I associate "joy" with lightheartedness, hope and the joys I feel about the beauty of/in nature as well.]

Which color do you associate with the word "joy"?

Now it is a hanging module.

Hexagonal paperclip storage boxes

[art-of-mathematics]

Tetrahedra and octahedra assembled to this object... .. I love how it can be regarded as art.... but also be used as a practical item to store stuff and build lamp shields and whatever...

... one can also turn it into a tiny hanging shelf to store lightweight stuff like origami models...

[art-of-mathematics]

How to:

move a calender to the right without adding a new nail into the wall

... Using sticks, stone(s), paperclips, a hair tie, 3 foldback clamps.... and utilizing the lever laws...

[knotty-et-al]

...

I improved this model - and used ballpoint pen springs for the vertices of the squares:

Squishing it together:

Flattened:

Inflated:

Octahedron(flatten) -> [Octahedron(flatten)](inflate)

Inflatable Octahedron

Another one of today's quick crafts is this "inflatable octahedron":

As I often have problems with having very limited storing space capacity I thought: "Why don't I make an inflatable model that can be stored in a flattened way? "

So, yeah... that is the result. 😅

- - -- ---

As for the crafting process: I used my beloved foldback-clamps (they are such multi-functional items! ) and some basic sticks... I fixated the vertices with basic masking tape...)

- - -- --- -----

some math fun facts:

An octahedron is a regular polyhedron (also called "platonic solid" ) and consists of

• 8 triangular faces

• 12 edges

• 6 vertices

[art-of-mathematics]

Another item of boredo(o)m emerged from my silly hands and even sillier brain:

a tiny crossbow

old bamboo toothbrush ft. stick ft. hairties ft. foldback clamp ft. string

[knotty-et-al]

Tetrahedron lamp holder for my tent

Used materials:

- sticks (to build the tetrahedron frame)

- foldback clamps (to hold the paper faces and to attach the swivel carabiner hook)

- thick bright white paper (cut into 3 equilateral triangles and 2 of these equilateral triangles are cut into two same pieces)

- the depicted camping lamp

- 1 rubber band (to fixate the lamp)

- masking tape (to fixate the tetrahedron's vertices)

- a swivel carabiner hook (so the lamp can be rotated easily)

(My lamp has 2 magnets left and right.)

... i might improve the design further... I am just bored. And crafting this is a calming activity for me...
