Another "not a 'make' make" but too good not to share. A piece of theoretical physics/maths that made me laugh out loud.

I fully realise that not everyone will be as tickled by this as I, but the laugh was genuine and one of delighted surprise.

Spoiler Alert:

Not really a "make" other than in the sense of "... the effort" but an experiment to see how easy micro greens are without going the full on climate controlled hydroponics. Also trying a variety of seeds: alfalfa, basil, coriander, cress, mustard and peas with a view to growing any we like on a larger scale.

I'd been searching for a way to use the bottle for something. So, some orangy nail polish and a couple of dips in yatch varnish (so the lable wouldn't come of when used for the first time), make a hole in the lid and you get this:

Investigating tessellations in origami I came across this (now archived) Hydrangea design here.

And had a bash.

Roughly 300 folds later. . .
