the first two beta bertjes I am quitte pleased with the result. It's nice to have myself around..yesterday evening I noticed I even talk to them. It is a good therapy too, they help a lot to accept myself and I even got used to my bold spot.

Like this! It is definitely art, if you could automate the process you would have even greater success on your hands, how many would like this? Many people!

Regards and Respect.

Congratulations with this excellent concept, it is amazing what paper can do, who needs holograms! I was involved with a project years ago which created art structures using similar tools, rolls of paper and air blowers.

With the right software behind it (in the same way people create their personal avatars for 2nd life or quake etc), I can recall using such software years ago for mapping photos to surfaces. Every home could have paper clones, a stunning, all be it slightly eerie, family portrait.

Even as pure art it has definite level of realism which traditional art fails to produce when faced with the HD photo realistic gaming era we live in. Genuine modern art!

I was curious, I did not see a part about how to fold it the proper way pre-gluing. Do you just match up the numbers?
