Pedigree Charts in 3-D




OK, I ran these in backwards - again. Work your way up the page to get the idea. Mike twisted about 500 of these little triangles. Then I "diapered" them in mulberry paper coated with watered down Elmer's glue. When it was dry I put the ancestors' names and birth dates on, then Mike hooked them together. After about 2 months we have exhausted our supply of mulberry papers and have called it quits for the time being. It's so light weight and flutters like butterfly wings. By the way, we came up with a few leftovers - still can't believe I wrote the names of "phantom" ancestors, but I truly can't find them...one of life's little mysteries.

I LOVE this! It is such a beautiful idea, and executed so well.
