[EKStationers] Origami

[Heather Gray]

Cool stuff!  I did a little class on origami years ago, and it was
interesting reading about its origins. Unfortunately I hadn't found
instructions for folding 'pots', but we had fun trying out some different
forms.  IIRC, the colored/patterned papers are post-SCA period as well.
