Where to start?

So I've been behind. I have been taking pictures, and thinking of things, and scribbling things, just no typing. Its been well over a month, probably best to start where I left of. Letsee, there was a beautiful sunrise...

• Pic # 20
  

• An Origami Money Bird with a large tail, #21

• The Lunar Eclipse, #22 & #23

• A sign with good advice, #24

• Sending off a friend to Iraq, #25

And that was Febuary (Izat Spelled Right?)
Now March.

• A flat tire outside Bennigan's, giving lots of time to take pics of the Roadhouse, #26

• And experiments with macro, on the same day, #27.

• A largish brown spot appeared below my eye, # 28.

• And then it snowed in Texas! #29

• The next day school opened late, and my dog refused to touch the snow, #30

• A few days later buds appeared on our tree, #31

• Then I saw some longhorn cattle on a detour home, #32.

Its a lot to one in one day, but I might be getting a second dog, so it was either catch up now or wait for an even longer period of time. Hopefully soon I'll get these up on Flickr, so that the larger size is available for viewing.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, Picture # 9

Hiatus, over?

So the daily photo thing isn't working. I'm taking pictures, almost every day even. However, actually logging on and posting something, well that's another story.

Not a lot of anything going on right now. Work is long, trying to unpack and set to rights our house is confusing, which leaves evenings as a time to be cherished. Squirreling away time for piddling activities isn't easy.

Having said that, this is what I made yesterday and the day before.

It's called an 8 sided compass rose jar. Info and CP, or Crease Pattern, can be found here http://origami.oschene.com/archives/2006/03/05/the-8-sided-compass-rose-jar/ . Mr. Oschene, I think that's his name, created this fold as a varriation to the normal compas rose jar, which has 6 sides. Least, I think thats what the difference is. One of my jars is 6 sided, the one with a picture of a lady on it, though that happened by accident.












Each jar has a star inside, like so.

And the day before I made this.

Its a bat. No info as to creator, and I've long lost the link to the CP. Well this has been a long one and maybe that means I'll be doing more normal ones again soon, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
