I had to wait 60 years to experience the joy of folded eggs. Great White restaurant, Venice Beach, LA.
I've been taking some textile images for a client and am so drawn to the moodiness of this one. the light reflecting off the folds and the dark settling between them

This folding craft knife is 3.5 inches in length when fully unfolded, I think the fact that this is a craft knife and the words "Caution Sharp Blades" printed on the blade carrier says all that needs to be said.

Macro Monday's and the theme of "Paper Art".
I do like themes relating to Paper Art, they can get the creative part of a person flowing.
Here I have cut a strip of paper 21cm x 0.5cm and folded the strip 90 degrees and then rotated the subject 90 degrees and folded that a further 90 degrees. Then I just kept going until the strip of paper ended.
This finished up with a tower of folded paper which I placed on a sheet of white A4.
Did you hear about the Origami champion who tried his hand at Poker? He often was dealt a good hand but always had to fold.

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—
Folded from a 35 cm square of tant paper, which is too thin, I've discovered. Well, too thin for me.
The crane is a mystical, holy creature in Japan - it represents luck, good fortune, and long-life. The act of folding cranes, specifically, 1000 cranes, is said to make the folder's wish come true.
Strings of one thousand paper cranes are often sent to places where tragedy has struck as a symbol of hope & healing. Sometimes groups will fold 1000 cranes for an ailing friend in hopes of speeding her recovery.
Whether you believe in the power of the crane, or simply in the gentle act of beauty and kindness, there is something uplifting about this tradition.
I don't really know where I am going with this, but my shoebox of origami paper is out and I am folding cranes. If any of you feel inspired to do the same, I am including a link for an origami tutorial.
I think it would be a beautiful show of support and love for Japan if flickr was flooded with paper cranes. Is it too much to hope for a virtual chain of 1000 cranes? If you make one, send me a flickr mail. I will start a group if there is enough interest. Feel free to spread the word.
Designed and folded by me.

I had an idea for a diorama that includes a bunch of these adorable crabs, so I just made use of a previous bird base fiddler crab design I had. This design also naturally comes from a bird base and is of course closed body. Closed body appears to be the trend with crab designs these days.
I could have used box pleating or something to design a crab, but even with a bird base it's still possible to get a good result.
I'm told by She Who Must Be Obeyed that this is Fold Over Elastic. Whatever it is I found the colors and textures pleasing...
This mural is by BMD. They are a two man crew originally from Taranaki, but are now based out of Wellington. I managed to chat to one during their smoko, but the other member of the crew did his best to avoid me. The mural is best viewed from this angle to get the best 3D illusion.
They are very talented guys and have a look at their great video bmdisyourfriend.com/biography/
This is a 4 cm large stone with two trilobites in it. Trilobites are a group of extinct marine arachnomorph arthropods that form the class Trilobita. The first appearance of trilobites in the fossil record defines the base of the Atdabanian stage of the Early Cambrian period (521 million years ago).
In the fossil you can see the wrinkles of the animals.
Hubby found this gem in Morocco at a dealer's who valued his knowledge of fossils and minerals.

This past December my husband and I celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary. My mom taught me how to make this folded star, back then. I used the fabrics from my wedding dress, the bridesmaid's dresses and the jr bridesmaid's dresses as a keepsake. My mom had made my dress as well as the bridesmaids dresses. I'm in the process of weeding out stuff I don't need. But this...I'm hanging onto.
