You will laugh. It is an origami crab. Folded by my Grandaughter. I think of it as a portrait of my character. Tenacious and stubborn and a bit crusty on the outside. It just so happens that I was trying to fold. It myself yesterday when it turned into Drago the talking Dragon. The Chinese horoscope character for my year of birth is a dragon.
