Re: [Origami] Name of the puzzle purse in Spanish?

[Laura R via Origami]

Why do you need to translate. Everybody knows what a puzzle is. You can say es 
un portamonedas que se arma como si fuera un puzzle pero solo necesitas un 
papel, no es modular. You just tell them what it is and they quickly figure 
out. No need to find the perfect translation because everything will leave you 
in the middle of something. 

Actually, I make beautiful earrings out of this easy model. They must look 
perfect and made with the best washi.

[Origami] Name of the puzzle purse in Spanish?

[gera...@neorigami.com]

HELLO
I plan to teach this model to Spanish speakers: 
http://www.origamiheaven.com/historyofpuzzlepurses.htm
First of all, should I just call it "puzzle purse" in English? I see it 
sometimes appears as "Valentine puzzle purse" and some others as "Victorian 
puzzle purse". What do you suggest?
In regard to Spanish, have any of you seen any reference to this model–for 
example, its diagrams–in a book in said language? How was the model called?
If not, those of you that also now Spanish, how would you translate it? I'd say 
both the word "puzzle" and "purse" can be challenging to translate to Spanish. 
There's no exact translation for the word "puzzle". "Rompecabezas" means 
"jigsaw puzzle", but isn't appropriate for other types of puzzles, like this 
purse. It's a similar situation with "purse"; the Spanish word would depend on 
the type of "purse".
I'm inclined for "Cartera de ingenio", which would literally mean "Ingenuity 
purse". That's as close as I got.
