Origami Day

Daddy Long Legs. Or Crane Fly. AKA mosquito hawk.

Never mind its name – mosquito hawk. The Crane fly poses no danger to humans or mosquitoes.  Many species have such a short lifespan as to not eat at all.  What kind of life would that be? Not eating. After taking the picture, I moved daddy long legs off the sidewalk. No need to shorten an already short life. 

Serious Origami Box Making Today.

Worked on Tomoko Fuse’s 7 square boxes today. They are very difficult for me. Not the folding. That is easy. Just a bunch of valley folds. But it is the assembly that stumps me. The tops and bottoms are each assembled from four modules. And I have the darndest time seeing how the pieces come together.  I think that this modular type of origami is good for my elderly brain. The fitting 3D puzzles together parts of my brain have never been used! A whole new experience for the synapses. 

And, the boxes are really cute.
