I'm having these patterns printed on "chiffon" to make furoshiki. Most pics were taken at Orto Botanico REA, with many thanks to Regione Piemonte for so beautifully taking care, and a pair in my garden in July 2009. Pics were modified for pure fun with only the ACDSee that came with the computer... please enjoy and feel free to use them.

Any employee should have the right to throttle at least one client in his working life. Then a client who wants a rainbow, an ottoman pattern and a hittite artifact to be used in the same logo and changes mind when her absurd order is ready, would get what actually she deserve. The pattern above has to be made in a very short time analysing a half picture of an ottoman decoration detail, for someone who does not deserve even a line of it.

I wrote an article about folding origami models from the crease pattern. I wrote it during May and June and it's been published on the last QuadratoMagico (QM94, the CDO - italian origami society's magazine).
I used 3 old models of mine as examples, to show how you have to do, starting from the CP only.
The whole article (with the 3 examples) is available for downloading it on the CDO (Centro Diffusione Origami) website: www.origami-cdo.it, in the members-area. So it's available only for CDO member, now; but in the future it will be available for anyone.

Helleborus niger, commonly called Christmas rose or black hellebore, is an evergreen perennial flowering plant in the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae. It is poisonous. Although the flowers resemble wild roses (and despite its common name), Christmas rose does not belong to the rose family (Rosaceae).
Helleborus niger is commonly called the Christmas rose, due to an old legend that it sprouted in the snow from the tears of a young girl who had no gift to give the Christ child in Bethlehem.
In the Middle Ages, people strewed the flowers on the floors of their homes to drive out evil influences. They blessed their animals with it and used it to ward off the power of witches.

Die Schneerose oder Christrose (Helleborus niger) ist eine Pflanzenart der Gattung Nieswurz (Helleborus) in der Familie der Hahnenfußgewächse (Ranunculaceae) und gehört trotz ihres Namens nicht zur Familie der Rosen.
Die Pflanze (in allen Pflanzenteilen) ist vor allem durch Inhaltsstoffe wie Saponine und Protoanemonin stark giftig. Die stärkste Helleborin-Konzentration findet sich allerdings im Wurzelstock, so dass Vergiftungen durch Schneerosen eher selten zu beobachten sind.
Die Wurzel war früher als „Radix hellebori nigri“ offizinell (= Arzneipflanze). Sie wurde als Herzmittel und harntreibendes Medikament genutzt. Allerdings wiesen bereits im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert Kräuterbücher auf die Giftigkeit sowie auf die Gefahr einer Überdosierung dieser Pflanze hin: Drei Tropfen machen rot, 10 Tropfen machen tot.
Die Schneerose galt wegen ihrer Blüte zum Christfest als heilig. Man schrieb ihr besondere Kräfte zu, etwa um böse Geister auszutreiben oder die Pest zu heilen. Schweinen wurden gegen die Schweinepest Blüten ins Ohr gesteckt.
