----- I first learned this model, probably around 2005, from a flyer I acquired (don't remember where) that attributed it to Michael LaFosse and it was called Party Decoration (I think, I’ve since lost track of the paper). The "pocket" was shown with the top layer of the pocket folded back-and-forth to create a zig-zag band, exposing the bottom layer, and inside color, of the pocket, then you inserted the two flaps on either side of the pocket. The zig-zag made a nice color-change addition to the model. Later I found it diagrammed in "Japanese Paper Crafting” by Michael LaFosse, 2007, pg88. It’s called Crane’s Egg Modular Box and the design is attributed to Richard L. Alexander. Again, the model features a folded design that shows the back-color, using the top layer of the pocket, this time a different one than the zig-zag one I already knew. It's also diagrammed (with the zig-zags) in "Story-gami Kit" by LaFosse & Alexander (2010), called Fiesta Box. I have also tried some other variations, on my own. Definitely an easy, fun, and multi-purpose model. ..... from Chila /// ------------------------------------------------------- Chilagami - I think, therefore I fold; I fold, therefore I am Folding for Fun in the Mojave Desert Southern California, USA [email protected] www.origamichila.blogspot.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
