Roses inside roses inside folds of colour. Something a little different.
Caleb Wade, Maria Dryfhout’s brand new grandson, came into the world today. I designed this image in his honor to celebrate his arrival. To soften the image and to make it gentler in appearance, I applied the dry brush filter and since Maria’s grandson made his debut in March, I thought I’d add a sprig of shamrock. Caleb, welcome to the flock!

This one is real easy. When you are finished, remember to cut out the fish’s mouth. If you blow into it, the fish will inflate, just like a real puffer fish.
I think we learned to make these in the 3rd grade or something. Many schools around the world teach children Japanese origami to help them develop things like eye hand coordination and problem solving skills. Have fun!
I do have a calendar for my origami already,(see here) and I have decided to make another specially for the flying birds (my cranes + 3 images of my golden flapping bird). I still have an assignment do to for school, but I hadn’t posted origami for a really long time. I felt like posting something and only have the time to create using what I already have. Hope you enjoy and Happy Holidays! To see my entire origami collection, see here. I’d be more than glad to switch images around to suit personal preferences.

On November 6, 2009 the Seckman Middle School in Imperial Missouri, where Julie works, held a Veterans Breakfast to honor the Veterans of the community. As part of the program a demonstration was given to show how the American Flag is folded for presentation at funerals and for special honors. The ceremony also explained what the meaning of each fold of the flag is during this ceremony. This collage shows part of that ceremony. There were 152 “Vets” from WWII, Korean War, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan. - / The meaning of each fold of the flag is: The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life. The second fold is a symbol of our belief in the eternal life. The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veteran departing our ranks who gave a portion of life for the defense of our country to attain a peace throughout the world. The fourth fold represents our weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in times of war for His divine guidance. The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, “Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.” The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The seventh fold is a tribute to our Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that we protect our country and our flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of our republic. The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered in to the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day, and to honor mother, for whom it flies on mother’s day. The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood; for it has been through their faith, love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great have been molded. The tenth fold is a tribute to father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our country since they were first born. The eleventh fold, in the eyes of a Hebrew citizen, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The twelfth fold, in the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost. When the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost, reminding us of our national motto, “In God we Trust.” / (Source – USFlag.org) / - Veterans Salute the American Flag! / - /
