These were made with the idea to create stacked disks using pleat ties. The areas where the pads overlap was the real tricky bit, but it came out pretty nice.

The shape reminds me of a prickly pear cactus. Fun!

A fun, bright design that looks great spinning.

This was an interesting design to tie. The idea was to create an asymmetrical star with the center set close to the lead edge.

A simple, bright, and happy design.

When I created this set, I was thinking of a sort of “black hole” effect, or a space nebula or something. Guess I was in a sci-fi mindset.

Then a friend saw it and said he could see a monkey face in the blue center area. That ended all discussion.

After all, could there be any better name than “Monkey Face”?

  I have a slight suspicious hunch,

that a pie is not a healthy lunch,

but key lime does pack quite a punch,

and I adore a graham cracker crunch
