Origami Box: Finished Product

Origami Box: Finished Product,
originally uploaded by Gavatron.

This is what I do when I should be working on my comprehensives. Oh well, reading week is for, well, doing anything but reading.

Browsing my RSS feeds (I guess that counts as reading, doesn’t it?) I noticed that Jason Kottke had posted about origami. In the post, inspired by a recent article on Robert Lang, an origamist extraordinaire, Kottke posted a link to a simple origami project and a photo of the finished product.

In the past I’ve been more than frustrated by paper folding; I think it’s the representation of a three dimensional object in two dimensions that gets me. But, after having stumbled through the instructions once (and getting the subject of the next photo in my stream), I ended up with my very own post-it-note box. What an achievement!
