My Origami Hobby
February 28, 2006 Leave a comment
In my spare time (mostly defined as “electronic devices off” in airplanes), I fold like a madman. If you’ve been by my office in Building 18, you’ll see a number of models that I do while on conference calls or during meetings. It helps me concentrate.
My first Origami hero is John Montroll, who publishes several step-by-step books on a variety if high-detail models. He does an amazing work with these, and not just simple models either; he does dinosaurs, insects and a variety of animals. He does a black widow spiders, a lobster and an elephant (with tusks!). Incredible stuff. Check out his books; my favorites are “Prehistoric Origami” and the book from which I learned: “Animal Origami for the Enthusiast”.
My NEW Origami hero is my son, Connor, who let me teach him how to fold the Crane. He is now going on to demonstrate the art to his school class.
I’m waiting for my boss’s, boss’s, boss, Vic to report back on his progress with his kids.
