Thanks to all who replied, both on-list and personally, in regard to my
search for red kraft paper. Most of you mentioned IKEA, so I want to put
that out there for anyone else looking for red kraft on a roll. Kim's Crane
has several colors of kraft, including 12" sheets, which are large enough
to cut into A-4 dimensions (not to mention all the other cool stuff there)!
Both of those look promising!

I appreciate your help!

[Origami] ADMIN note - "what's with these forwarded messages?" You may be asking...

[Anne LaVin]

I imagine that some of you don't know, or don't remember, what this
silliness is about, so  here's the short version:

Well over a year ago, AOL and Yahoo changed their policies about how email
from their users should be treated by other mail servers, and did it in
such a way that mail sent from AOL or Yahoo users to mailing lists ended up
getting treated as spam.

In order to fix this for the O-list, some major upgrades need to happen to
the server on which the O-list resides; trouble is, this server (which I
run) has a number of older, other services on it that can't get upgraded
easily, and I've been struck trying to find a way to juggle everything
appropriately so that I can get the mail upgrades done without interrupting
these other services... and this is dragging on for a long time.

So, in the meantime (but hopefully not for too much longer) any posts from
folks who use AOL or Yahoo mail must get forwarded from another account to
the list, rather than get posted directly. I usually do this, which is why
you see so many from me, and the odd circumstances where I'm replying to my
own messages, etc.  (Occasionally, of course, we make a mistake and let one
through directly - as I did this morning - and then have to resend so
everyone actually gets a copy.)

Sorry for the difficulty/confusion/oddness...

[Origami] New origami blog

[Anne McCombs]

I recently bought several of the early OUSA / FOCA Convention Annual 
Collections, and they've inspired me to start a new project.  I'm folding each 
model in order and blogging about them, starting with the 1981 Convention book. 
This is new to me and my blogging skills are nil, so right now the blog is bare 
bones to the point of being plug ugly, and Google can't find it.  As I learn 
more, I hope to dress it up, but presently it's just photos and text.  I am 
neither a designer nor a particularly skilled folder.   My intent is simply to 
fold the model as diagrammed and comment on it --what I think of it, where I 
had trouble, and which kinds of papers work well or poorly.  Interested persons 
may view this work-in-progress at origamioriginsblog.wordpress.com and comments 
are welcome.

[Origami] Old newsletters

[Dee and Bob]

Hi All -

I am downsizing a bit, so I am getting rid of - gasp - paper things ;-)

I have some binders full of old newsletters from clubs. Rather then just
toss them into the recycle bin, I thought I would see if anyone were
interested in having them.

I have CHAOS, OCOP, and WCOG in the main.

Contact me offline, no sense in filling mailboxes. If I don't hear from
anyone by the end of the weekend, I will recycle them.

Thanks!

Dee
