That’s incredible Jennifer! You just may be in the wrong line of work! I used to make those little fortune telling finger do dads but what you did is beyond belief!

Thanks guys. It’s one of those talents that’s totally useless, but at least it’s fun. :joy:

I used to be able to make all kinds of origami, but all I remember the steps for are two different types of cranes and a star box. I could probably still make a tiny star box, though I haven’t tried in years. Maybe I’ll give it a try one of these days.

The truth is, once you have down the steps, you can really fold them at any size so long as the paper is perfectly square. With the itty bitty sizes, I do “cheat” a little by using the pointy end of a mechanical pencil to help whenever I have to unfold a section (getting a fingernail under those tiny edges and corners is tricky), and I use the metal clip on the mechanical pencil to help press the creases. When the paper is that small, you need the creases to be as tight as possible.

That makes perfect sense. I shared that photo with my family. One of my sons used to do quite a bit of origami. He and my husband were debating how you’d managed to get the folds crisp and tight enough. Hubby decided that you’d trained snakes to use their tongues to fold the paper. :snake: :rofl: :joy: :snake:

Hope i don’t get banned for having him on my head. He was perfectly safe. Im sitting in the middle of my bed…
Now for the story. Every day I spot clean his enclosure and weekly change out the paper towels. This is the time we socialize with the family. I take him out and put him on my shirt. Then he climbs up into my hair and supervises my work. Then we go visiting the family while i hold him. We sit on the bed, and he climbs back up into my hair and watches the fish. Lol. Love this guy

I think so too. But she can actually get her entire self under it. Its funny how she will move it way over so she can lay on the heated layer in the open. Then she will move it back when she wants to be covered on the hot side.
