Origami And Our Funny Girl

Origami: the art of folding paper into shapes representing flowers, birds, etc.

This tiny crane was created by her -

Our funny girl!

This photo was taken a few years ago, at her birthday-bash,

in a restaurant filled with people.

She is not shy.

She is quite unique and stylish.

And has an aversion to wool.

While sitting at a table with her, I saw that she had a stack of tiny squares of paper.

They were for Origami - something she'd learned from a favorite teacher of hers.

She offered to make a crane for me - which took about one minute!

The girl is fast.

Folding...

A little bit of moisture...

The wings...

More folding...

A little bit of of air...

A pinch on the beak...

And heeeere he is!!

I asked what his name was and without hesitation, she said, "Armstrong".

Alrighty then.

I love her hands.

Speaking of hands -

When she, our 13 yr. old granddaughter and her older sister, our 17 yr. old granddaughter and I were having our hands photographed for my blogs banner,

we all turned our hands over for a quick, fun shot -

This is what was on her palm.

While Mel-Mel was checking out Armstrong for the first time,

I wanted to take her picture, but she wouldn't turn around -

Because she didn't "have her face on" yet.

Speaking of faces -

Here's one that we LOVE!

Our extraordinary, talented, cool and very -

Funny girl!

Signing off for now,
