Origami birds from Belfast will be included in the Hiroshima Peace
Memorial Ceremony in Japan on 6 August.
It is the first time a Belfast community group has taken part in the
ceremony, which is held every year on the anniversary of the day in 1945
when America dropped the world's first atomic bomb on the Japanese city
of Hiroshima

And speaking of cranes and atomic bombs, the city of Los Alamos, NM (where
the atomic bomb was developed) will be installing an origami crane
sculpture created by Kevin Box (with a little help from a friend ;o))
outside of their public library later this year. Here's a drawing showing
a mockup, and a photo of the crane sculpture in a different context:

 I've been asked to teach origami action models to a class of 20 kids, from
 2nd to 5th, for the space of one hour. ... May I have some suggestions for
 TWO models that many kids of that age range could likely fold in the space
 of an hour?


The rectangular box, the business card frog, hop frog into box, the basket
ball hoop.  Make spit ball ball.
