[Origami] My favorite Paper globe
I saw this Sonobe Unit globe several years ago. It is actually quite cool - I still have a folded 30 unit around somewhere. There is a three piece, a six piece and a 12 piece as well. Just be aware it is hard on color ink :-) http://www.tonysplate.org/sonobe/sonobe-earth-30.pdf Dee
[Origami] New video tutorial: friendship bracelet (traditional design)
Hi everyone, with Valentine's Day just around the corner, I figured I'd show you how to fold a quick and easy fold that makes a perfect little gift to show your friends you appreciate them - or, of course, that special someone how much they mean to you. So, this month's video features a friendship bracelet. Picture of three bracelets: http://www.happyfolding.com/gallery-traditional- bracelet Tutorial on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/instructions-tradi tional-bracelet Tutorial on YouTube: https://youtu.be/u7RxnTtgbYM I wish you lots of love and friendship in your life and altogether a good time. :) And, of course, as always: happy folding! -- Sara

Last fall, when I was folding and blogging about a bunch of stuff around World Origami Days, a friend of mine asked for a list of interesting books for beginners, so I wrote this: https://gofoldsomething.wordpress.com/where-to-start/ As I say on the blog, it is a slightly idiosyncratic list, and some of the pieces will be a stretch for an absolute beginner, but I think a bunch of them are more interesting than the average beginner book for one reason or another. All should still be available, though some are out of print and so will have to be obtained used. Cover art, a short description and a link to at least one place you can purchase the books are also listed there. Here's the list of titles: 10-Fold Origami by Peter Engel Origami Made Easy by Kunihiko Kasahara Polyhedron Origami for Beginners by Miyuki Kawamura Ultimate Origami for Beginners kit by Michael LaFosse and Richard Alexander Easy Origami and Easy Dollar Bill Origami by John Montroll Origami Sketchbook by Angel Morollon Origami Plain and Simple by Robert Neale and Tom Hull Origami Kit (for Dummies) and A Beginner’s Guide to Origami by Nick Robinson Lack of inclusion in this list shouldn't be taken as disrespect for a book! These are just ones that I have found most useful, personally. There are also lots of nice titles in Japanese, but they are generally harder for people outside of Japan to hunt down. Hope that's useful - if you think I've seriously missed one, let me know! Anne

John Montroll's "Easy Origami" contains a number of (as the title suggests) simple models ideal for a beginner.

Re: [Origami] Flapping Bird Anthology - Quick Question
I am trying to finish off my bibliography of Robert E Neale's designs ... see http://www.origamiheaven.com/nealebibliography.htm ... and I am hoping that someone who owns this anthology ... published by Origami USA ... will be able to let me know the year of publication. I need the year of publication of the anthology not the original periodicals, please. Thanks very much! Dave
