Here's another follow-up to our Organic Architecture holiday card feature article: Taliesin Fellow, Earl Nisbet was kind enough to send us a very cool holiday card he designed a few years back.
As he describes it: "I abstracted a Christmas Tree [and folded it] so it could be mailed. The folks at the other end would have to unfold it in order for it to stand upright—but most of my friends could figure it out."
Such a clever design and a wonderful treat to see. Thanks Earl and Happy Holidays!
