Origami!

Running with some ideas from an earlier thread...  what if we had an Origami skill?  We could make paper airplanes, cootie catchers (perhaps also have cooties to catch?), paper hats...

In properly surreal Glitch fashion, there ought to be offbeat papercrafts, like crafting your own moons for your emo bear. (Because...  and you know I have to say it...  It's only a paper moon!)

  • YES YES YES!

    I am an origami enthusiast in the real world and I very rarely use paper to write on.* I'd love to have something to do with all of my extra paper stacks. I've been meaning to formally propose this skill.

    edit: *in game and out!

    perhaps we could even "play" with the paper when folding in a
    click and drag way when making origami. Flip, Mountain fold, Valley fold etc, to really be involved in the folding process. Ruined origami if we mess up the pattern!

  • This would be great!  Cootie catchers that actually work that you can put messages into! And origamimals.

  • WOW I love this idea!!

    You could craft little gift boxes and envelopes, party hats, birthday cards...
    We would also need a board to hang notes and cards on then. To put in your home and display them.

  • Folding 1000 origami cranes could grant a "wish" or just be an achievement!

  • Anyone know the Tiny Speck mailing address? I'll fold and send a wide selection of origami in varrying degrees of difficulty, just to convince them to put this skill on the short list!

  • In particular, my previous wish associated with this was that 'fold' be a verb associated with a note rather than just a piece of paper.  Thus, you would write something on paper to create a note, and then the note could be folded into a plane or a crane or whatever.   A folded note could be unfolded, read and re-folded.   You could write a crush note, fold it into a heart and leave it for someone,  write a joke, fold it into a paper plane and throw it in the mines,  that sort of thing.

  • Maybe put the frog out of business and write notes, fold into planes, and then throw then across Ur to the person.

  • Yes! Down with the frog oligarchy! :P
    And maybe if we free up their time by letting them focus on item and currant transactions the Auction House wait will diminish! ;)

  • I do love the idea.  But I also wanted to say that I can't be the only one who hears the voice from We Love Katamari (or was it Katamari Damacy?) that says "Or-i-gami!" when they read the thread title.

  • Merth, do you know Jeremy Shafer's book "Origami to Astonish and Amuse"? That's where I learned to fold a T-Rex. Love that book, it's Glitch-like in spirit.
