Tour Eiffel Snack Bento

I stumbled upon this while browsing flickr tonight, and all I can say is....amazing. My favourite part is that this is an actual snack! Oh, and the clouds.

For more food fun go here. This one and this one are by far my favourites.

Origami Green stars

Origami Green stars, originally uploaded by stopglobalwarming.

While enjoying a pot of Earl Grey at Cafe du Soleil yesterday morning, I watched as a Japanese woman taught her two young grandchildren the art of origami.

They were still quite little, but were already getting the hang of it, doing a much better job than I know I can. It was so lovely to be able to watch a tradition being passed down, and a family enjoying creativity together.

Folding paper to make something beautiful has always appealed to me. Somehow so simple and intricate at the same time, with the act of folding being art in and of itself. It is something I haven't ever really learnt how to do, save for the christmas decorations I made last year. I do have some origami paper stashed away though, so I think I must bring it out and have a go.

Have any of you tried it? Do you have a favourite object to make? I'd love to hear about it if you do!

It Was A Very Good Year - 1981

I'm joining in a game from over at Mike's. Head over to flickr, punch in a year and see what comes up!

I love this photo, so full of excitement. It totally captures the feeling of being young, hanging out with friends, going to shows, late nights and road trips!

I wonder what you will find, with your very good year?
