Polypopagon and my favorite teaching tale

Two more clips from last Sunday's Cherry Blossom Festival:

I haven't told this one in a while....

Monterey Park Cherry Blossom Festival 2014

The roll of paper in my right hand is the size I used for the Montroll horse

 I missed coming last year.  I miss the days when Yami, Joe, and yours truly would work these events together.  That said, it was nice to be back at the Monterey Park festival and seeing the regulars there; and it was great to have my folding friends, Marti and Chila, join me.

Self-Made Man Tutorial

I made Eric Joisel's delightful Self-Made Man a few years ago, following the crease pattern.  I haven't folded one since, but keep meaning to, so that I have one out of nice paper.

Alexander Kurth should make the process easier for everyone:

Tanya Little:  Little dreamer, fly away. I have always loved Origami, and seeing the expressions on the boys' faces when they realize they can make things out of paper, too.. well, I adore it. Let your imagination guide you little ones.
