One of the local libraries has contacted me about teaching an origami class
for teens this coming June. The theme of the classes is "Building for the
Future" (or something like that). In view of the recent NOVA program, I
thought it would be really cool to do a flasher.
There is a simple
Watched this wonderful show last night - amazing! I was glad to see some
familiar faces and there were a LOT of new names! Cool!
I had to laugh, though, one young man in the protein lab (I have forgotten

can be folded back

I saw this Sonobe Unit globe several years ago. It is actually quite cool -
I still have a folded 30 unit around somewhere. There is a three piece, a
six piece and a 12 piece as well. Just be aware it is hard on color ink :-)

This has probably been mentioned a bunch already - but I am now binge
watching "House of Cards." In season 1, Clair Underwood does some folding
... although you never actually see Robin Wright doing the folding :-)

Hi All -
I am downsizing a bit, so I am getting rid of - gasp - paper things ;-)
I have some binders full of old newsletters from clubs. Rather then just

Hi!
Does anyone know about the website Origami Paper Monster? They have some
interesting products, but was curious how the service was and if anyone had
ordered from them. Prices seem reasonable, too.
