[Origami] Ronnie in Origami Wonderland
Hi all, I was just having a bit of 'fun' with Ronald Koh and messing around with Photoshop a couple of weeks ago and the following is the outcome. Most of the origami models were digitally re-sized. They were not life-size. https://www.flickr.com/photos/cavemanboon/37412335850/in/photostream/

Re: [Origami] Origami Sighting: Calgary restaurant with origami logo

Re: [Origami] Creating by taking a little from here and a little from there
Hi all, I have been following this thread with interest and would like to share a recent somewhat amusing experience. About a year ago, a Facebook (FB) friend by the name of Nomura Yuko posted a video of her fold of Yamada Katsuhisa's Pecking Kingfisher on FB together with a link to the diagrams. She had somehow mistook the kingfisher for a woodpecker. My memory is somewhat blurry and I am not too sure if I was influenced by what she wrote in her post but from the beginning, I had the impression that it was a woodpecker and proceeded to fold the kingfisher from Yamada's diagram and then posting a video of a fast pecking 'woodpecker'. In his diagrams, Yamada named the model a pecking kingfisher which by the way, is pretty nice and charming and I have since seen the video he posted on his FB. Anyway, since then, I have been amusing folks with the 'woodpecker' but it became somewhat of a hassle to explain to them that this is actually a pecking kingfisher made to look like a woodpecker. So, recently I decided to come up with a more woodpecker-like model from a stretched bird base (instead of a fish base in Yamada's design) but still using a similar pecking mechanism and after a few tweaks, I ended by with this colour change version : https://www.flickr.com/photos/cavemanboon/14048481609/ You can see the earlier versions in my earlier Flickr posts. So yeah, I guess this 'design' is the fortuitous result of a misunderstanding by Yuko and me ... Wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar. By the way, yes, Patsy, in case you are reading this, when it comes to origami, more often than not, I am a 'performer', not a 'composer' ... Boon

Chris, pardon my ignorance! Yeah, the more I check, the more it looks to be so. I am pretty clueless when it comes to kusudamas but come to think of it, the first one I did (and probably the only one that I have ever done) when I was a kid was assembled with glue from multiple units of the cootie catcher.
