Back to photostream

gently down the stream

It had been raining for ages, so I finally decided to make a little origami boat and photograph it outside in a puddle. But I'm not very good at instructions. After 1/2 hour of folding and unfolding, I ended up with a couple of things that were not boats. My husband, hearing my sighs, said "I'll do it!" How many husbands would help make paper boats? :) Well, after another half an hour, there were eight sad folded papers lying on the desk, none of them boats. And, this was all using online tutorials. Finally, he picked one up, with an "aha" moment and folded it backwards, and voila, suddenly, it was the closest we came to a boat yet. So he quickly picked up the rest, gave them the same final fold, and then I had a fleet. This one was my attempt, and I know it's not how they're supposed to look, but it did float:)
