I don't know it sort hit me as a thought and said to myself what does everyone else think about it and seeing as i wouldn't want to bother my family and friends with such concerns, you lot seemed fair game
I once received an origami rose on my birthday. It's actually very pretty and looks like a real rose. Origami is pretty cool, as long as I'm not the one doing all the folding!
It's pretty impressive if you've seen people who are good at it. Definitely a cool art/skill. I dont have the patience/skill to do it, but I'm impressed by those who do.
Colleen learned a bit of it in Japan. She made me a little box last night in which they usually throw trash. I did not because I was astonished at the speed and skill with which it was made. She knows a few other things, too, and her host family gave her an origami set for her birthday in November
I can do some origami and have made some pretty cool things. It can be very rewarding to spend the entire half of a basketball game making a snail whose shell inflates. I actually meant to make something origami as a Christmas present for someone special, but I got busy and forgot to do it. Guess I could still make it--better late than never!
Sorry to ramble on and on. I take my origami pretty seriously.
