How to fold poems and quotes into origami and leave them on public transport by joh

"Beautiful in their fragility."

How I did it: It took me ages to get around to it, but then I saw some poetry by Federico García Lorca and suddenly was inspired. I downloaded instructions for making origami birds, got out some beautiful paper and spread a little Lorca around. I hope it brings a smile to somebody. Maybe they will recognise a word or two and not have to unwrap the design. "The pool of the air beneath the echo's branch..."

Lessons & tips: It's only fun if you care about it as you do it. Save it for a day when you feel quirky or romantic.

Resources: There are heaps of great, easy, origami sites around.
