I used to be a ghost origami folder back in the 70s. My (Japanese) mother had an origami show on the local TV station, BTV-6 Ballarat. I'd come home from school and she'd be about to go in to the studio, and she'd dash in from work and say "quick! make me 5 frogs!" or whatever. She would demonstrate how to make one on the show, and mine would be the display of different sizes and colours afterwards. Frogs are still my favourite, and I also make them in waiting rooms and restaurants. I used to like to make them with the silver or gold paper that you pull out of a new pack of cigarettes (thin, but holds the creases wonderfully) but hardly meet anyone with fags anymore, let alone when they're opening a new pack.

I just made this instead of shovelling the drive. Not quite as small, but no toothpicks or tweezers. Now I really must go and shovel....

Oh, and it only took 5 minutes.... she's sloooooow
