The Origami Forum

Just heard from one of my Italian contacts, Paolo Frli: He reports that Italian ex Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is a skilled creative folder. Here he is, contemplating the scaling orientation of his modification of the Kamiya masterpiece Ryuzin 3.5.

Dave, nice to see you post again.
While I applaud his multitasking talents, I must confess to some minor chagrin for his utilizing somewhat excessively large 7" by 7" kami .
I generally fold my enumerable Ryuzin 3.5's with a dollar bill ...

Hmm I wonder what date it is today...

What can i say? Origami is catching on! Soon it will engulf the nation as the primary form of art and entertainment!

"Excessively large" 7" kami? Heck I have 13.8" kami (that's 35cm for all you who use the emtric system like I do). But very funny picture. Caught in the act.

Happy April Fools!! Although I do admit, that was a good one.

I think the pen in his hand gave it away. still, a very good prank, and it had me guessing.

Pen? No, that's his folding tool (?!) http://www.origami-shop.com/en/plastic- ... 3-718.html

you can see the cap on the desk. forward, and to the left of his left hand. mind you, he could be designing his own models? IDK.

Berlusconi sometimes uses a protective cover for his folding bone...

Or he could be inking in the crease pattern he designed for the modification, but he doesn't want any one to see, so he's sneakily glancing about the room. XD
