Re: [Origami] "Blintz Fold Run"
Replying to Dawn Tucker's question about my mention of the "blintz fold run", it is a sequence of folds that starts with a blintz fold, then goes to the popular children's "fortune teller" and continues to produce a sequence of origami shapes each of which can exist on its own, or be refolded into yet another shape. I think I saw an article on it a few years ago in The Paper, and there was a session on it at one of the NYC conventions. The name "blintz fold run" was not known to me until I discussed it at the convention (and I think on this list); I just learned how to do it when I was about 5 years old. There are many variations on it, but the sequence I originally learned was: Fortune Teller Salt Cellar Dining table Dining chair Catamaran Small sailboat Cardboard box Conductor's cap Framed picture Sailing Ship Chinese junk I'll look for the notes that I collected at the time of the discussions, although I'm sure others should remember it and I hope they will step in.

Regarding a reply to my origami sighting, Larry Finch wrote: "This brings back memories. My (German) grandmother taught me this when I was quite young. I've since forgotten the details. She also taught me what is today usually called the 'blintz fold run.'" What's a "blintz fold run?" Dawn
