Argh! I decided to assemble another folding fan yesterday. I used the process I've BEEN using and for some reason the folds aren't even. They aren't even CLOSE to even!!!!!
Back to the freakin' drawing board.

Looks like I positioned the bones too far apart. I steamed off the paper and tried again and the results can be viewed at www.geocities.com/wodeford/sensu.htmThe 2" head pins have really improved the pivot joint. Still looking for the perfect paper, though origami paper is currently getting the job done.... Makiwara |

As I count it, there's 365 days in the year - a mere 1 per day with time off for federal holidays.

I imagine the number playing actively is somewhat smaller. But still freaking, er, ambitious. Besides, it kinda smacks of sucking up. On the other hand, once I'm sure I can produce consistent good quality, making up a bunch for the Queen to include in her gifts to the royalty of other kingdoms would be much more feasible.... Now go away and stop giving me ideas, willya? M. |
