origami craze

Since young, Lyn has the knack for folding origamis. We bought a few books for her to look at. She never took it seriously; just fold a few here n there and after that lose interest.

When FIL fell really sick; she folded cranes and filled a jar with them and put it beside him.

Recently the origami craze has returned. She has found a group of friends in her class who enjoy folding them too. They exchange ideas and go on You Tube to look for new ideas. She has a real impressive book which comes with colourful origami paper which Matthew gave her. Her friends were much motivated by the book.

During the Canteen Day/Coop Day; some of the girls in her class folded origami to sell; at about RM1 each I think. I was doubtful about its sale but to my surprise she came home all bubbly and happy because the origami was really popular. She and her friends plan to fold origami a week ahead of the Canteen Day next year instead of the night before the sale.

Here are a few samples of the origami she had folded; there are more but I don't know where they are:
























































































What do you do with origamis? I find no use for them. She has a box which she just drops them in. She finds folding them addictive; like reading a good book (so she says). She's asking for more paper now.....
