  1. Möbius double basket. Folded from a sheet of handmade washi. About 19cm tall. Topologically it really is a Möbius strip. The boundary is shortened, but not enough to make it a flat circle. The Sudanese Möbius strip will take a bit more work.

  2. A fascinating video on fabric pleating (in French): invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=9jklE

    They sandwich fabric inside folded cardboard forms, and then steam it to make it keep the pleats.

    The cardboard forms are very reminiscent of origami tessellations.
