My uncle was a whiz at origami. He could do any animal at any time. I remember when we were little, he used to come in and lay an origmi animal on our pillow then when we went to sleep he would come in and do a show on our bed with these creatures. I tried to learn from him once, but I was all thumbs.

It's the art of folding paper into shapes - lots of time animals, but I have seen other things, too. I can make a mean crumpled up jumbled mess, and not much else.

Right here! :)
I wish I could do something nice in origami, but I don´t know how to do anything in that department


I once saw a kit someone brought from somewhere abroad, very nice paper in nice colours. Here I would have to make white paper from the printer do.


When I was a little girl, we used to do simple things like a hat, boat, a "peak" - the one you write numbers on the inside and then some words on the inside of the numbers...(does anyone know what I am talking about? This a very popular "girlie" game)

The wife of a man my s/o knows is from Tailand, and she once made us three little origami birds. A while later we found them out in the garden!
We took them back in, but somehow they got out again We found out that Feykirófa was stealing them to play with
Now there is just one left, I have no idea where he has taken the other 2!
