[Oa] Hamid's California Missions Volume One

[Andrew Crawford]

Greetings OAers!

I am pleased to be the first to post that Hamid's new pop-up book,
_California Missions Volume 1_, is now shipping from his California studios!

_California Missions Volume 1_ contains actual laser-cut, hand-folded,
highly-detailed OA-style pop-ups of ten 18th century California
missions, along with photographs and historical notes.  This is clearly
a labor of love and, a treasure for the OA enthusiast.

Hamid makes use of some interesting and uncommon techniques for some of
the mechanisms.  He has an interesting slanted roof design and, uses
nested cards to achieve really wonderful depth on some models.

If I recall correctly, Hamid's first pop-up book, _Bam Citadel: A Three
Dimensional Commemorative_, sold out in a matter of a couple weeks.  So,
if you want one, grab it now.  It is available directly from Geomancy:

Lest anyone think I am playing favorites: anyone who has new projects,
please feel free to announce them or, if you prefer, email me off-list
and I will be happy to post for you.

Best,

Andrew Crawford
