Hi all, Now that the 'old geezer' has mentioned my name, I guess I should put in my two cents worth, even though I haven't really been following this and other related threads as closely as I had wanted to.
Personally, I am more interested in the outcome (destination, and maybe a tad beyond the destination described here) than the journey itself, although at times, I do appreciate some interesting folding sequences in certain designs. In most cases, I would 'fall in love' with a particular model at first sight and perhaps because of my other interest in photography, I would often have a picture in mind first long before I've started folding or seen the diagrams. This is perhaps one of the reasons why I tend to tweak /interpret designs a fair bit - to fit what I have in mind. Sometimes I fail miserably but there will be times when I would feel like I have got things just right and I guess it's from moments like those that I think I would derive the most fun/satisfaction from origami ... When I was much younger, I think I enjoyed origami differently - the flapping bird and later, Pat Crawford's turtle and quite a number of Montroll's works etc gave me plenty of joy - but that's another story. Anyway, origami enthusiasts may enjoy and appreciate origami differently and I am completely fine with that. I don't know (and possibly not that keen to find out) what the heart of origami is but one thing I know is that origami occupies a rather unique place in my heart and for me, that's enough, for now at least. With regards to Ron's lovely rabbit(s), yup, I've lost count of how many I've folded/tweaked. I folded so many not because I enjoyed the folding sequence - which by the way is pleasant enough - but because the outcomes fascinate me. Okay, time to get back into the cave. Happy WOD everyone! Boon
