New Paper
Well, yesterday was my 18th birthday... sigh, I feel really old already.
Naturally one of my gifts was some new paper. I got some Nicholas Terry Tissue Foil as well, but that probably won't arrive for awhile yet.
But my best birthday gift of all was my confirmation online - I got a publisher for my book!
I'll be working with Tuttle publishing, and the book (Dynamic Modular Origami) will likely feature 15 wireframes, and will be released in late 2014 or early 2015.
Make these easy tree ornaments... they only require paper strips, glue, and a quilled comb technique - an actual hair comb will do. They're fun to make and go together quite quickly. How-to video: www.allthingspaper.net/2021/11/quilling-comb-ornaments.html
I just had way too much fun with G2 today - this was a pure gift ;o)
and Peter was very helpful!
back to wildlife tomorrow... I promise :o)
These wasps always look at you like you owe them money.

And then there were two! I think they are now starting to build a colony. But I prefer to look into this as a paper wasp family, the wasps being the parents with their offsprings (eggs).

A nice intermediate step on Natalia Guzowska's "Another Hexagonal Star" which I'm refolding because I wasn't satisfied with the rendition I presented a few days ago.
A short stress relieving activity that buggered up magnificently and did the opposite.

The BBC was the Borrowing Book Club, a club started by me, the President was me, the rules were made and enforced by me. I was a budding dictator. The club disbanded when my club members informed me that they wanted new elections and someone else to have a turn as President. Well!! I am chagrined whenever I remember that.
Anyway, here was my 5th grade newsletter. And I don't recall either the Pink or the Red jacket.

"For heads that are disposed unto Schism and complexionally propense to innovation, are naturally indisposed for a community, nor will be ever confined unto the order or economy of one body; and therefore, when they separate from others, they knit but loosely among themselves; nor contented with a general break or dichotemy with their Church do subdivide and mince themselves almost into Atoms."
...Sir Thomas Browne

"Writing sentences is difficult whatever their subject. It is not less difficult to write sentences in a recipe than sentences in Moby-Dick. So you might as well write Moby-Dick."

Consider how the beginning of all Thought worth the name is Love: and the wise head never yet was, without first the generous heart."

This one is a little trickier. Consult the included picture to make sure everything lines up correctly. The bottom half of the cabinet is divided into two pieces, each marked as front and back. I would suggest assembling the rest of the model first and adding these two last.
