I've heard that the earrings must be facing the front when worn, but I'm
tempted to fold something like tatos that are a bit bigger than 2.5 x 2.5
cm (1 x 1 in) for the earrings. The problem is that the sides of the jaw of
the wearer would get in the way so they can't face the front. Does
I guess I found out about the exhibit too late ... I live here in Denver :-P
Anyway, just doing some searching, it looks as though the exhibit was
supposed to close in September and I don't see anything contradicting that.

Hi all ...
A friend of mine just gave me a couple of origami books she found in her
mother's things.
One, at least by the Google translate on my phone (which is not so that
great, I've found), is called "New Introduction to Creative Origami" and is
by (possibly edited by) Creative Origami Group

My son's friend asked me about a Cobra action model this afternoon that
I've never heard of. He learned it as a kid, so 20 years ago, maybe? It is
made from a square, but you use the waste end of the 8.5x11 sheet, wind it
up tight into a stick then use the stick to move the jaw of the Cobra.
A friend of my son's mentioned a model that he was taught as a kid - say
20+ years ago. You make a square from copy paper (notebook paper) to make
the snake. The waste strip is rolled into a "stick" that you somehow use to
move the jaw of the snake.
Anyone ever hear of or see a model like that?
If I'm not mistaken I have a book of paper planes written by Ken

LOL!! Per recommendation of Karen, I checked out the link in the napkin

This sounds amazing! We were just in Charleston, WV. We visited the capitol

Hi all!!
Just wondering - what would you say the earliest model dealing with fantasy
or science fiction would be? My oldest books go back to the 1960s. Were
there dragon models before then? Fairies? Rockets?
Thanks!

uld dearly love to fold this wreath.

I'm going to be out of town on his possible dates. He did say it was

If there is anyone in the eastern Colorado/ western Kansas area that would
