Re: [Origami] Can We Talk About the Elephant (and the Hundreds of Other Origami Models) In the Room?

How recognisable. Some of you likely also recognize the need for a patient spouse.  Most of my models are stored in boxes, or in the bin. As many as my wife allows (and she is patient) are on display. A few are sold. Some are given away. A more radical approach was taken by the late Simon Andersen: Every year on Michael Mass day, he collected (almost) alle models from his house in a large pile on the lawn, and then added a match. A cleansing of house and soul, fresh and ready for another year of folding.

The first would support a Charity and the second help to spread the joy of Origami. Whenever I am in the USA with my children, I give Origami models to people I meet. Kids love it and wish to learn Origami. Govind Kulkarni -- Sent from my Android phone with mail.com Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

As precious as they are, they take up space and I have had many instances where, rather than sending bags of fold to the bin, giving them away is a better alternative. regards Peter Whitehouse* http://www.wonko.info *some assembly required Email sent using Optus Webmail
