So much for ornaments this year...used my Hallmark ornament collection and received a couple over Christmas and of course the inexpensive gold and red balls from Ikea. Next year's challenge...a tree full of origami. I'm hoping to try to make a couple dozen this year. The challenge is that for the last 10 years I can't seem to put a crane together. I've surfed websites, I've borrowed library books and bought a range of pretty paper from the local Japanese paper store. No luck :( So I'm hoping to find among friends or family a teacher to show me some of the basics.
