Ah ha! What fun! Yes, I am folding some of Michael La Fosse's butterflies as well as Jo Nakashima and Tadashi Mori's designs. I then hand paint them and finish them in resin. They are all so beautiful. And the root canal is done! Yeah! Today I have plenty of time to lay around and rest my jaws. So more butterfly ornaments. And fish :)

Hi Margaret, I feel the same way. Amazed at so many others all around the world doing the same. Have you been to a convention? I've never been, but one day I hope to, so I can be more inspired seeing great works, first hand. Heading to the dentist., and folding swallowtail and monarch butterflies to stay relaxed before a root canal. Great meditation!

Hi Robert. I'm new here too. May I inquire as to why the flapping bird is all you can currently create? Just wondering, because I myself have some trouble with my fine dexterity sometimes, due to cervical and left arm injury. I taught myself origami about 35 yrs ago, dropped it for a few yrs. While I focused on p/t after an accident, then began again with a need and hunger to fold everything I saw! I never go a day without folding. Even on my difficult days, I fold SOMETHING. Enjoy!
