The Wholemovment guy, linked to from the FPP'd page, makes beautiful, compelling three-dimensional-polygon origami sculptures from uncut paper plates. It's a wonderful example of a magnificent obsession.

Great link, Mr. Bucket!

If you haven't looked at the Wholemovement link, check out the guy's paper plate gallery. This is really cool stuff.
