How to fold poems and quotes into origami and leave them on public transport
It made me
Smile.
 "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. |

rubikkocka SCHOOL IS OUT
How I did it: I usually fold origami cranes and leave them where i finish them, and it was a sudden idea to write something on them. I looked up japanese proverbs at wikiquote and wrote them on the cranes' wings and left them here and there. I wonder if someone found them and what did they think:) Read how I did it…
How I did it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQCiuD7LDyIa few years ago i looked up a video similar to the one above to learn how to make them, then i began writing quotes on what will be the outer side of the crane so people can see that there is something written and i leave it to them as to whether or not they destroy the crane to find out, which in itself may be a little poetic or reflective of life in that sometimes when the truth is revealed some… Read how I did it…

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
-Jack Kerouac
this will be on my first one. inspirational, indeed.
whenugonnablazedat not accomplishing much
This is THE ABSOLUTE BEST suggestion I have ever heard. It makes me all warm inside and giddy. I know I’m silly, but this really put a smile on my face and I intend to make this a regular habit!
I read this and I just felt a sudden urge to do this. I feel that if the right person received the appropriate quote and / or poem that I have written on the paper, it will inspire and encourage them. Someone out there is encouraging you to keep going. Putting myself in the receivers place, I would be really touched. So, I will do this. I do not ride public transportation, but I will leave it around the school. I will do this.
CreepyHippie is just scared.
I’ve only done some simple models, but then again, if it’s too complicated and neat, it’s harder to unfold and read what really matters.
Anyways, I’m loving it. I’ll keep flooding the city with this sort of stuff for a while, I think.
h.g. ~happiness Infinite Love & Gratitude~ In Thailand~ on my way to Kathmandu!!! :D
This is cool…love it!

Made my first crane today, it took alot patience and motivation not to give up.Will now do some more and start leaving them around public places with quotes written on them. It feels good to be able to create something.
Calissa is home again... for now.
I’d intended to make more cranes, but it’s just not a priority right now. Making them was fun, but it was discouraging to see them get sat on or ignored. It’s possible I would have got a more positive reaction if I’d kept trying, but I’m laying this to rest for now.
Perhaps I’ll come back and have another go some other time.
Jodie is living life, hopefully to the fullest.
I just don’t ride public transportation.

I’d better start looking for my origami books right now.
