Event Host
My claim: geometry is tasty, really cute, and endlessly mesmerizing – and this blog is my proof. I turn simple everyday materials, such as printer paper, pipe cleaners, yarn, and blocks of cheese, into unique creations such as intricate beaded teddy bears, decadent Sierpinski Triangle baked goods, colorful 3-d paper stars, and soft and comforting polyhedra pillows. On my website, Geometric Delights, I blog about my creations and also provide detailed tutorials for readers who wish to replicate my original models for their own enjoyment.
