5 Days to Go - A puzzle for All
Ultimate Origami Puzzle - Significantly Simplified
Some Time Ago, I constructed a puzzle using slip and stick construction consisting of nearly 1000 parts. Figuring out and constructing the puzzle from scratch - even if you know how to make slip and stick pieces is a foreboding task that takes weeks of folding. No one in their right mind would attempt the task.
So, I have come up with a significant simplification. 16 pictures are divided into 4 pieces. these are placed in a somewhat random order on 4 slip and stick frames. You can make easily add pieces from any 6 by 8 inch pictures and attach then without glue (you do have to cut them into 4 rectangular strips first). Making (folding and assembly) the puzzle is a task that a folder with moderate skills could accomplish (after taking the advanced slip-and-stick class from me).

Pictures can be on the outside, inside or top and bottom of the puzzle. The completed puzzle can be presented to children. Finding pictures on the outside and inside is relatively easy. Solve one picture at a time. Finding the top and bottom pictures offers more of a challenge. Or simply use the puzzle as a display of your favorite picture at any one time, changing to a new picture when the mood strikes.
16 pictures in one puzzle - solve one picture at a time.
Come to the exhibit in the Cultural Arts Center in Columbus and see how many pictures you can find in a few minutes. Most of the pictures are flowers from the Morton Arboretum, A few are from parks in the Chicago Suburbs.
This is the last of my count-down for now. I need some time to get ready for the convention and a day or so to get there from the Chicago Area. More pictures and video's after the convention. See some of you in Columbus !
