OrigamiLei

 

I saw some interesting origami leis at the memorial for the Ehime Maru. One was disintegrating after a few days in the weather, so I helped myself to a piece or two. I kept telling myself that I wasn’t desecrating a grave, I was picking up litter. Anyway, I figured out how to fold the pieces. As you can see, the units are stackable, and one could make a colorful lei by running some fishing line through the centers.  It’s a bit tedious, though, and after satisfying myself that I understood the concept, I had no desire to do a project.
