Just yesterday, we saw this amazing origami ball in a gift shop. It is made from the pages of an old copy of Tom Brown's School Days. Cool!
My mathematically-inclined 11-year-old was smitten and has thought and spoken of nothing else for the last 24 hours!
Armed with help from the internet, a quick Google search for 'modular origami', this YouTube tutorial and a whole lot of patience & determination, my young man has emerged from his room with this prototype.
He is working on his vintage book page version as I type! Hmmm, can't imagine where he gets his obsessive creative tendencies from ...
So-o COOL! Aren't you a proud mama!
ReplyDeleteOh wow - that's very impressive! Well done maths-boy.
ReplyDeleteThat is so impressive!
ReplyDeleteGreat job by a great mind!
ReplyDeleteHe has done a great job I love all the colour he used on his.
ReplyDeleteYour son is the bomb! It must be in the genes. I love the coloured one as much as the print one.
ReplyDeleteWow, how beautiful and clever. My kids would love to help make one.
ReplyDeleteThat is very impressive - great use of the computer and paper!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Fantastic but I think someone needs to go back to school. LOL!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! This is great!
ReplyDeleteIncredible! What a talented and very smart young man!
ReplyDeleteThe internet can make anything happen.
ReplyDeleteWow - fanastic job, what a determind and skilled young man he is!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
ReplyDeleteFantastic job!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant - I am off to how my 11 whoops just 12 year old now! :D
ReplyDeleteWOW!! brilliant! Im really amazed. You must be a very proud mom.
