My Latest in the Origami World

Last night Cheryl and I made some more paper and I realized that I have not posted any pics of my latest works. So ...here they are. I have been working on the Robert Lang Tree Frog for a couple of weeks now and I think this is one of the best so far. It is actually fairly easy to do now that I know the theory behind it. One recommendation to new Origami fans: Have good paper and fold the same design several times in a row to gain a sense of familiarity with it. Your skill, knowledge and feeling for the design and art will only get better. The Grackles are such an example. I would like to work on this design a couple more times to fix the head. But first I will have to cut up the paper I made last night. Hope everyone is having a great week so far.

2 sales and one panel.

Sold 2 seats late in the day and I decided to carve them both up tonight. They were easy to carve and are usually pretty good sellers. It's funny they have not been as popular lately. Anyway, I was planning on carving up a panel tonight and decided to carve that up too. I didn't bother with the router since it was getting late and I wanted to finish all the carving tonight. I got a request from a possible client to carve up a toilet seat with blue/green flowers with perhaps a bird or two. I found this little drawing in a magazine and When I saw this drawing, I thought it was just what I had in mind. However, instead of carving up a toilet seat, which are becoming very difficult to come by. ( read previous postings) I carved up the last panel . I didn't like this one because of the stain color and hopefully we will get an opportunity to get more this weekend

Currently, I'm down to one seat in my stash. Cheryl sent an email tot he store asking them about their change over and if they still have them available. With a little luck. .. They will and we can get them once again.
