Charges on the postal service

How is it that of the 25 hand-made New Years cards that I made, all were delivered except three? About a week after I mailed out these Dave crafted beauties, three of them arrived back at my house, the front of their custom envelopes besmirched with big stamps saying that they were undeliverable due to their small size. Now if the other twenty-two were the same size, why did they make it to their recipients? I smell incompetence. Well what do you expect for .39 cents.

Reality Avoidance Technique #157 - Modular Origami

I started working with models from Tomoko Fuse's book Fabulous Origami Boxes today. Ms. Fuse is one of my favorite origami artists. Talented and prolific, with a sense of form and style that shows in her pieces.I have ignored this book for several months now, having moved to other things. What a wonderful book. The modular nature or the models allows the folder to make a fairly large box. Even with really large paper, most single sheet containers are too small to really be useful.
I find the functional beauty of origami containers fascinating.This model is folded from plain origami paper. I hope to make the model from better paper soon, but with all the scatterbrained stuff I do on a day to day basis, I'll be lucky if I make another.
