“Oh, bright chimerical!” So began a very bad piece of verse, back when we wrote such things. Thankfully, the haze of age has obscured the rest of it.

Rex by origami joel That is, “An honest heart is a kingdom in itself.” Seneca — who used to walk around, saying stuff like that at random. Hey, mask fans — Joel Cooper has blogged about your last chance (conceivably) to score an original Cooper of your own. Going once, twice…
Stellated Curved Tetrahedron Colored Crease Pattern Some people there may be who haven’t folded this yet and still want to. The clues we left were not the easiest to follow.
