Lessons from this morning's papers

[magid]

That would be origami paper, since I don't currently feed my paper clutter with a regular newspaper subscription.

So.

It is much more congenial to be folding paper while chatting with friends, rather than reading LJ posts.

The color selection in a given package of paper is not always colors I like.

It is much easier to work with 5-inch squares than 2-inch squares.

Though working with the smaller size is much more fiddly, it is doable, and the results are cute. However, when making boxes, the smaller size is not actually useful for much.

I made a perfectly-sized-for-paperclips box out of two-inch paper :) It's great for small things . . .

I've been making triangular boxes, and the two-inch paper results in an equilateral triangular prism that is about and inch and a half on a side, and half an inch tall. Not totally useless, I admit, but not totally useful, either. I think the smallest paperclips would fit, but they wouldn't be the most efficient use of (triangular) space. Hm, perhaps it would work for organizing non-clunky jewelry, the kind with the chains that tend to get snarled... OK, perhaps useful for something, once I start thinking more.

however they were made...

...they were very pretty.

elegant, even.

Why, thank you, kind sir!
Glad you liked it.
Hm... and due to certain giftings this afternoon, there may be opportunities to fill it again, and again, and....

(How did you know that that's the only kind of whistling I can do?)
