This is unfortunate.

I rather like the look of 'Teach yourself origami' my Montroll. It seems to
be the best book to get someone folding high quality models (and doesnt have
a three legged giraffe in sight - a pet hate). Mind you, I learn from an old
copym of 'Origami 1' by Harbin and some Rupert Bear annuals...dont knock the
classics!

All the above books are available on www.amazon.com or www.amazon.co.uk by
the way, if you have no luck in book stores. Or try one of the origami sites
such as www.fascinating-folds.com

Dont give up on Origami omnibus! Ive owned it for about 4 days now (I
couldnt wait for Santa) and its a jolly good read. Except Kasahara has
copied my stegosaurus ;-)

I get teasing only from a coworker, but he is a small minded person, and doesn't
bother me.

I don't get teased from the waitresses, but i only fold the forme i know really
really well ( they come out nice) and i give them to the waitress, besides, any
waitress who wants a good tip should know not to tease the patrons.

If your friends can't accept your artwork without teasing, are they friends?

In the latest edition of Action Comics, #762, there is the following scene.
Clark Kent (Superman) and Lois Lane are decorating their Christmas tree.
Lois, due to guilt that is far too complicated to explain here, is telling
Clark that she doesn't want any presents this year.  Clark, astounded and
disappointed, protests that it is not that big a deal for him to get her a
present.  He states:

"Trouble? I could fly to Japan, scoop black pearls from the ocean and wrap
them in an origami swan before you finished your sentence."

See, even Superman knows how the value of a present is enhanced with just
the right personal, handmade touch ;-)

May the joy and miracle of Christmas (God is with us!) be "folded" into your
lives this holiday season.  Peace to all.

Don't let such behaviour bother you, Missle. People like that are simply
showing how ignorant they are. Tell yourself that they are making fools
of themselves, not of you, and you will feel a lot better.

I do lots of exploratory folding while travelling in trains to and from
work. I guess the sight of an old geezer folding paper this way and
that, studiously staring at each fold and layer - with nothing
particular to show for it - can seem odd to some. I've heard comments
like:

".... must either be in his second childhood, or still in his first
...", uttered by some whippersnapper trying to impress his girldfriend;

"... so childish .....", by a mother to her infant son, who asked what
that man was doing;

"... seems to be stuck somewhere, doesn't he ....", by one concerned
pre-teen to another;

".... maybe you should go over and show him how to fold a boat?", by a
haughty looking father, looking down his nose, to his son of about seven
years of age.

"Hey, mister, nothing better to do iszit?" a punkish kid, to derisive
laughter from his group of friends.

I simply smile, and continue doing my own thing.

I've got an extra copy of the '95 Annual. Whatever I get for it will go towards
a fund (mine) to bring foreign guests to an OUSA convention.

There are some "Origami Angels" out there who have paid the air fare for people
to attend International origami events and I know of one generous person
(prominent on this list) who donated frequent flyer miles to secure a ticket to
bring someone to a local event. Anyone with extra miles, isn't this a great way
to use them?

Happy Holidays all.

People often just don't know how to show their interest in a more
positive way. So they make fun, push around, ridicule, etc. etc. My son
(2 1/2) does the following when he's interested in someone:
When he wants to make contact with someone he's interested in, he
usually hits him/her over the head with a toy, or pushes him/her around,
always with a friendly smile on his face.
It's not the smartest way to show his interest, as my son is beginning
to realise... Apparently your waitress never tried to make fun of
someone twice her size ;-).

I think that nowadays xmas is just an abbreviation, used by all netizens
around the globe. I've seen declared "newborn" (or however that's

There's nothing to it; it's just a bunch of letters.

"Xmas" is just an abbreviation and should be pronounced "Christmas," not
"Exmas," just as "Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe RR" is pronounced "Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad," not "Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe AR-AR"

   Hey Dan:

   Can't help you with diagrams, I've never tried to come up with an actual
one for Teletubbies.
   As far as what they are, well, they're from a British kid-oriented TV
show. It's aimed at really younger children (8mos to 1 1/2 years up), and
the 'tubbies are 'cute' (gag) little(?) alien creatures -- somehow they
remind me of infantile 'Peanuts' characters from space, in a generic sorta
sense. (Did that actually make sense?)
   They have bland, happy faces, a one-piece suit that covers everything but
their face (and each one -- four in all -- have a different shaped antenna
on the top of their heads) and the suit is one solid colour, either red,
puple, green, or yellow. They have a 'TV' screen built into their stomach
region -- hense the name "Teletubby".
   It's a very young-aged based show. They talk in infantile fashion; simple
words, giggles, etc.
   It's caught on like wildfire in NA. I know both my kids -- the 2 1/2 year
old as well as the 10 month old -- love it, much to my dismay (I'm Mr. Mom
right now, while my other half is in school), so I have to listen/see it
every weekday morning, before my second coffee...
   The only other thing I'm subjected to which melts my brain worse is
Barney. Has the same saccharine (sp) sweetness to it...
   Of course, I'm only ranting here. You merely asked what they were. I
kinda got carried away, I think. Maybe that's because my kids both got a
Teletubby doll this morning for Christmas (see? I wrote it in FULL, guys,
and I'm not even a Christian!!!;)  ), and I'm looking at one as I write...

   Hope you had a Happy Holiday, everyone!

Subject: Re: "Gamitease"; was just a thought

Ouch, this train of thought brings back some painful memories. In 1965,
when I was a freshman in high school, I was obsessed by origami and would
escape to the folds whenever I was bored or lonely. There was a boy at my
bus stop (this was in Chagrin Falls, Ohio) who was older, more
sophisticated. At first he was really intrigued by my folds and asked me
to teach him. This was great.

However, I think he must have been getting teased about it by his peers,
because he quite suddenly became my enemy and taunted me. He would test
my manhood by punching me on the arm, quite hard, and look to see if I
could "take it."

By the next year I was so unhappy, my parents moved the family back to
Libertyville, Illinois. Other "manly" men found me a target for arm
punching there.

Yes, there is a dark side to such a gentle hobby. It reminds me of a poem
about "Susana and the Elders." "Why do you thus devise evil against her?
Because she is beautiful. Delicate. Therefore."

Now that I'm in a creative profession (publications specialist in a
government communications office), my origami is admired. Back pats are
much more prevalent than punches in the shoulder.

Not that I do it in public often, but when I do, or when I talk about
origami, I get no reaction at all. Nothing. Neither positive nor
negative. I think I must live in an origami vacuum, although the big
box store I buy my books at, must be selling the other books to
someone.

Knitting in public has however gotten so much reaction that I am
almost reluctant to do it anymore. I get so many questions, about
knitting that I don't have time to knit. It's not that knitting is so
unusual, it's that I am usually knitting on four needles.

Just read the last few digests after a great quiet Xmas and.......

For those interested in Brutish Origami I am reliably informed that one full
issue of this scurrilous publication was produced and still exists. However
I haven't yet managed to persuade the notorious Birmingham Four to part with
the only copy.

>I thought that was the whole idea??  Some of us like to celebrate the

Sorry, Nick! But I suspect that Xmas is as Christian as Christmas is.
Remember that there is a very famous early Christian symbol called the XP
(pronounced Cairo or Cai-ro after the names of two letters of the Greekl
alphabet and nothing to do with the city) monogram. You'll usually see it
written - on croziers and things - as an X with a small P overlaid in the
centre.) P is the greek letter R so the monogram is the first two letters of
the word Christ. This symbol is one of the three said to be used as secret
signs by the early church during the time of it's persecution in Rome. Xmas
is probably therefore simply a Christian abbreviation for a Christian
festival.

Incidentally the other two secret signs are the fish - the Koine word for
fish - ICTHUS - is an acronym of Jesus Christ Son of God - now often seen on
the back of cars or as lapel badges - and the Paternoster word square SATOR
AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS.

Readers of British (not Brutish) origami may recall that various word
squares were once featured in Serendipity ...... aah I knew there was a
connection to origami in here somewhere!

Talking of Cairo - tesselators may be familiar with the Cairo tesselation.
Oliver Zachary has discovered that there is an extremely simple way of
making the tile for this tesselation. You need the bit left over when you
cut a square from a silver rectangle. Simply fold it corner to opposite
corner diagonally and the tile is done.

What kinds of origami decorations are people making

Barbour's champaign bottle, Steve Hecht's martini
glass, and making several modular balls/stars from
silver holographic paper.

Traditional symbols would be the numbers "2000", and
an infant (usually crawling?) and a very old man (with
a cane?), but I do not know of any actual models
except for the numbers.

Has anyone else come up with other ideas?

I Please fill this out if you have time!

Before the arrival of the new Millenium, I would like to learn from

you...

3 special models you have folded and what is so special about them.

2 origami artists you like the most and why you like them.

1 thing that you would like to see the diagram of and why.

PS I was just wondering if anyone have received the Origami Calendar some of
the list members were talking about a while ago.  I have received one from
my best friend for Christmas!

Happy Holidays!

Carol,

Technically, you are so right!  The Dragon doesn't arrive till February,
but that is the one model I associate with the New Millenium celebration
this year.  It's the one special model for me in general for Y2K even if
it doesn't figure into our Western calendar.

Ria

Subject: Origami 3,2,1

Wing,

I liked your little survey:

3 special models for me:  Traditional Crane because friends on this list
                          sent a 1,000 for my husband's recovery from his
                          cancer.  He is in remission now!

                          Butterflies because I actually invented a model
                          from a bird base which I called Sutter's Flutterby.
                          I enjoyed the challenge of making it to enter in
                          the Swedish contest for butterfly models.

                          Sunflower I learned at the OUSA convention from
                          June Sakamoto because it was my first complex
                          flower model that didn't get me frustrated!  It
                          was fun to watch it puff up and bloom after follow
                          ing the sequence of folds.  So delightful to do!

2 origami artists I like most:  La Fosse has to be one of my favorite origami
                                artists.  I love his butterfly models and also
                                I admire the realism he captures in his animal
                                and plant models.  He makes his own paper and
                                designs his own models.  I've visited his
studio
                                and met him in person and found him to be
kind
                                and generous with his time to a novice folder.

                             Gay Merrill Gross, Tomoko Fuse, Toshie Takahama,
                             Kasahara and Montroll are the ones whose books I
                             have collected most, but of those I would have to
                             say I've done more models by Kasahara than the
rest,
                             because his models were the most appealing for
the
                             longest time and his was my first origami book
I got
                             for myself.

1 The Magic Rose Cube is the model I would like most to have the diagram to
do.

Subject: Sad News

I have just learned from Katherine Meyer of the passing of Paul Krueger from
complications of diabetes. He was 64 years old and lived in Sheboygan
Wisconsin.

He was not a member of this list (as far as I know) but was well known to
origami people all around the U.S. He was the first regional group coordinator
for OUSA and was responsible for producing a handbook for regional groups.

In addition, his passion for money folds lead him to self-publish two volumes
of mostly his own original works. His presence at OUSA conventions will be
sorely missed. He was a dear, kind man who embodied the generosity of spirit
which so characterizes most origami people.

He was a lay minister who used origami to teach and inspire children. For years
he was a regular member and contributor to FOLD an origami a.p.a. which came
out every other month. His contributions were always thoughtful, original and
most neatly presented.

I'm sorry to be sharing this news with you at this joyous time of year.

Robert langs musicians from TCBOO they all were action figures, and I
like action figures.  Also my daughter is a musician and is in her
second year of college to teach music.  I think she gave all of them to
music teachers.  I don't seem to keep many of the models I fold.

> 2 origami artists you like the most and why you like them.

Robert Lang, he has a whole book of wonderful action tows and many more
in his other books, always good for a gee whiz!

> 1 thing that you would like to see the diagram of and why.

Well there is this one thing I would like to do the text for a model in
the diagramming in the style of Dr. Sues! I just haven't been able to
manage it yet.

Yes well they sent me one.
