Papercraft

I was inturrupted at the beginning of my lunch today by Emily saying that I should post something.

I recently picked up a hobby known as papercraft. Basically it is almost the same as origami except that you also use scissors and glue. The designs can be printed out on standard 8.5 x 11 inch paper (printer paper) and then cut, folded, and glued together. You are supposed to use slightly heavier paper, but I don't have that at my disposal quite yet. So far I have made 2 and am working on my third. It takes about 2 days during lunch to make a simple one.

The best site for starting papercraft has to be cubecraft (www.cubeecraft.com) in which most of the designs are simply cubes. However you can quickly get into some really intricate designs. Just do a google search to see what I mean.
