what with crafts being all the rage at the moment, i thought that i would get in on some of the action and put my origami skills to the test – with some interesting results!
don’t worry, i won’t give up the day job… how about i send the final product to the person who can show me the most creative thing they can produce?

Classic Mel, keep them coming… I’m off to work on my oregami skills now!

I was impressed with your video so I went and tried to make one. I thought it would be great to keep the Eastern tradition so I made a Dragon.

Just kidding. I didn’t make it. But I thought I’d share the photo because it’s absolutely NUTS!

I’m glad that you pointed out that you didn’t make it, otherwise I would have been totally convinced

For those of you who are asking for the instructions as you’re convinced you could make it in 3 attempts – they can be found at http://www.origami-instructions.com/origami-crane.html

Well, I knew it would be obvious, but I didn’t want you to think that I was a liar.

That Blue Peter tune gave me an instant flashback. Days after school watching infinitely complicated creations made from sticky back plastic and toilet roll holders. Grange Hill was easier on the brain.
Great choice of track as well. Haven’t heard it in ages.

Brad – I know, I was just teasing
Gody – Thanks for the lovely compliment.
anthonymcg – Definitely with you on Grange Hill, plus you know, Ant & Dec rule!!!
Erik – Is there anything that you’re not talented at? I think you might need to give me some lessons
