![]() I looked around a bit and came back to a model I’d made for my Instagram account, a taller origami samurai hat model from a slim origami book published by Daiso. When worn, it becomes an almost conical rounded shape and doesn’t have the standing, literally and metaphorically, which I needed to make the picture look serious. Not so much because of the shape, but because it is a very simple model which lacks much structure. The most basic origami samurai hat, the top one in the picture above, was a little too basic. The idea of the raw-looking profile picture brought to mind something warrior-like, and so samurai hats were the place to look. If this was one of those colourful, parent or child-aimed sites, a simple conical dunce hat might have been a good enough visual joke, or something more playful. If clothes make the man, then surely this hat would make my about page, so the choice of hat was important. At the time I was setting up the site, the hair I had in abundance, so the question was, how to make the large origami paper hat. Long-haired guy screaming into nothingness, wearing a paper hat, is not exactly your standard hobby-site fare. This needed to be a little different, and so I wanted my profile picture on my about page to be different, striking rather than inoffensive, and so I came up with the idea of the picture you now see on the about page. This could not be another flowery crafting site with people smiling at the camera in their profile pictures, posing in to their pristine living rooms or gardens. In keeping with that general direction, I wanted to make a clear visual statement of intent. Yes, fun can be serious, and that’s where I wanted Papernautic to fit in. Lots of colour, decoration and mood, very little seriousness and fun. Being on the internet for the last 15 years now, I’ve seen paper craft go from niche geek interest, serviced by hand-coded, rudimentary HTML pages, all strictly functional, to hobbyist paradise with flowery blogs, soft focus photos and oodles of Pinterest photo-porn by people who either see it as a solemn craft or a childish pastime. The idea behind Papernautic has most to do with scratching a personal itch of mine. If you want to report any bugs on the pages, please email to me at.
