| Comments: | The picture frame lids on these hexagonal boxes are rather challenging to construct, but well worth the effort, since these frames greatly enhance whatever image or decoration is inserted within them.
Here some of the frames enclose motifs cut from the same paper used to make the box.
Other frames shown here enclose variations of an origami star decoration, also designed by Tomoko Fuse. She provides instructions/diagrams for the star decoration in the same book as the picture frame lids. |
