Vase Christmas Tree
I noticed than when you stack several Geometric Vases 1.1 into each other, you get a very nice Christmas Tree. I topped out this one with a simple custom pie...
Tant
Tant is one of my favorite papers and I use it probably more often than any other paper. It is strong enough for most tessellations, has a nice-looking surface texture, and is available in 100 intense colors. You can read the review by Ilan Garibi and my Notes on Tant Paper to find out more.
