I just made this
 

by watching this video



It's for a friend's birthday -she likes birds and orange an doesn't really need "stuff".

...after seeing the image on screen.... It needs googly eyes.......brb :lol:

(I once gave her an orange gerbera and put googly eyes on all the flowers......)

Lovely.

With a little bit of prompting and a couple of false starts, I can usually manage the crane. I make them as my substitute for fidgeting and pacing.

When momwolf had her breast cancer surgery, I made a whole flock of them while sitting in the family waiting room for my friend (the surgeon) to come report to me.

I did the same while I was having teeth extracted.

And when momwolf was being admitted for congestive heart failure.

I've left them all over the place. I have a lot of stress and anxiety, but work to look calm.

(origami paper is lightweight and easy to shove into even a small purse)

great idea, wolf. This is made from regular printer paper (yes, pretty hard to fold, but I was determined). Birdie now has googly eyes and is watching you....

How fun. I still remember how to make a semi-intricate paper airplane. I'll have to try the ani-mules.

quite impressive

She liked it :D and noted that I picked orange and googly eyes 'specially And breakfast was yummy too. And we walked there and back so the cholesterol and calories domn't count. Bi-winning.

Looks good!

I was into origami for years. John Montroll even came to an origami club at the local library for a while. Modular origami obviously inspired my tapecraft.

John Montroll??!! Holy shit!!

I don't remember how often I or he (or more particularly I and he at the same time) attended, but it was fun meeting him, and I got to show him some (very simple)dinosaur folds I invented. It was cool.

I didn't make it, but it came in the mail. I love it. It's a kitteh. Sorry I can't take a good pic with this phone. :)

it lost the googly eyes?

Here is the vid

Well, poocat. I didn't know it had googly eyes but I had the envelope in my purse and found 1 (one) googly eye. I replaced it. I now have a one-eyed kitteh. The other eye could be in my purse (i.e. bottomless pit of crap.) I'll look for it. :)

I'm not mailing one googly eye. You'll just have to call him ol' one-eye

draw a pirate's patch over the spot where the other eye would be.
