folding paper...




Origami is the is the Japanese art of folding paper. Through various folds of a common square or rectangle people are actually able to create some pretty crazy things. Anything from cranes to elephants, frogs to cats can be created with a little patience and maybe a little practice. But beyond that origami has a deeper meaning to me, it reminds me of elementary school strangley enough. While growing up and through going to school someone introduced me to a book that taught some designs and that friend gave me some paper to start with. It was a little stage of my life but tey were good times and i learned some basic designs down (never was that good). Although i do not really remember how to do them anymore it was still fun while i did it.
