Masonic Pop-Up

This paper pop-up with authentic Masonic symbols was created by Guy Spivey, a member of a Scottish Rite lodge in North Carolina. Spivey intended the pop-up to be a 3D "Trestle-Board". A Trestle-Board is a board mounted on a trestle (easel) on which architects in ancient times drew their building designs. In Masonic lodges today, Masonic symbols are drawn on Trestle-Boards instead of architectural designs. The template for this pop-up may be found here. The build photo above is by Sevenworlds16.

Eye of Providence Pyramid Paper Toy

This paper toy based on the Pyra:Minds template takes its imagery from the Great Seal of the United States which appears on the back of the US one dollar bill. The eye at the top of the pyramid was referred to by the creators of the seal as "The Eye of Providence". Despite modern day Freemasonry's efforts to set the record straight, urban legends still abound that the pyramid is either a Masonic or an Illuminati symbol. Be that as it may, it still makes a nice companion to my Masonic Medallion papercraft. ^^ The template for the pyramid was created in 2009 by illustrator Maximiliano Garcia Luna of Argentina and may be found here. I achieved the hovering eye effect in my build with a carefully placed toothpick.

National Treasure Papercraft - Masonic Medallion

This is my papercraft rendition of a Masonic medallion that appears in the 2004 Disney movie, National Treasure. In the movie, American treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates follows a series of cryptic clues to find an ancient treasure whose history is intertwined with the history of both Freemasonry and the Knights Templar. In the movie trailer, the medallion can be glimpsed briefly first in the hand of Christopher Columbus and then later in the hand of one of the Knights Templar:
