Honoring an old tradition with new materials. 🌿✂️

St. Brigid's Cross is one of Ireland's oldest symbols — traditionally woven from rushes on February 1st to mark Imbolc and welcome in the light of spring. I made mine from paper, and honestly? The folding is almost meditative.

Four steps. Two hands. One very ancient symbol.

Another 3D printer somehow found its way into my life…

This poor little machine spent years untouched, still in its original box, exiled on top of a shelf like a forgotten relic.

Now it’s finally free — and looking for a loving new home where it can actually do what it was born to do: print questionable upgrades
