Origami

This one is for Karen, who gave me a whole big beautiful bunch of origami cranes for Will's baby shower.  I have been meaning to display them, and found this great idea on this blog.  A Lampshade!  OK - maybe I will not put a light bulb in, but still they look cool in a clump - like a pinata.  Actually, the other thing I thought of last week was to find a nice branch, spray paint it some fun colour, mount it on the wall so it seems to be growing out of it, and hang them all from the branch.  I may try that.

These great lamps are from Tas-Ka.  They also come in white and black.

Also for Karen, is this super cool website, Origami Club.  They have a million origami designs for some crazy cute stuff, like the whale below.
Or how about a grasshopper?
Or a chicken? 
I would love to make these but will never find the time, so it is all on you Karen.

  1. LISA, I LOVE THIS!

    Funny thing is that lately I have totally been thinking about ways to display the cranes! Got one coming for William's room in the new house.

    Hugs and loves you lots,
    Karen
