Snowflakes

Instructions available here

Snowflakes spill from heaven's hand
Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand.
A veil of wonder laced in light
Falling Gently on a winter's night.

Graceful beauty raining down
Giving magic to the lifeless ground.
Each snowflake, a falling star
Smiling beauty that is spun afar.

Snowflakes spill from heaven's hand
Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand.
Till earth is dressed in a robe of white
Unspoken poem the hush of night.

Rat

The Year of the Rat begins today and I hope to do and post more origami designs in the future. Here is a simple rat I did yesterday.

Kusudama 5: Dice

This is made with 6 square sheets. It was much easier to do than the other Kusudama designs.
