Just one more sleep until the Byopia Press Advent Calendar 2025 begins. Not even a full sleep here, since all posts go live at 1 a.m. Central Standard Time. The theme this year is 'Fold'. Link in Bio then Blog will take you to the day's post.

There are a few things that I actually like about winter …

Gotcha!
The folding isn't exactly like the illustrated instructions, but achieves the same results. (Could have done a better job with the gluing. 🙄)

Work proceeds on the Byopia Press Advent Calendar 2025, so for #FlashbackFriday here's a lovely wreath from an earlier year.

Found ‘a’ solution, if not ‘the’ solution, to assembling this without glue, only to discover that I had messed up steps 4 and 5 making the units. This means my units make a six point star! Can anyone translate the written instructions in the second image?!

Well, that didn't work.
Pic is from yesterday. This morning I woke up with the solution to the problem already in my head, so you may see the star in this year's Byopia Press Advent Calendar.

There were always a few stars left over from the first six altered copies of 'The Universe', along with blank margin strips. In 2012 I used these leftovers and made the final version: 'Universe: Le Petit Prince'.

Another little drumleaf book for you to make, suitable for reading at American Thanksgiving. (There are also stars.)

Since the Friday Night Flick on the Byopia Press blog yesterday (byopiapress.wordpress.com/2025/11/07/f...) was about universe-themed artists' books, I thought I would post one of my alterations of 'Universe' (Life Nature Library).
