ORIGAMI
Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. It is believed to have originated from China first or second A.D.
Origami models all begin with a flat piece of paper (usually a square) which is the base. From which spectacular models can be produced. All of this is achieved by just folding! No cutting and sticking.
I began origami when I was 7 years old. My mother brought a book for me, which at the time seemed complicated. And one of the simplest models was the crane (see below). I have really grown to enjoy the art, my favorite actually because the only material required is paper!
Some great origami sites are listed below, they all have diagrams for models and lots of other origami links, so fold away....
