These abstract pieces of, er, paper art are the Short One's very first attempts to make his own origami toys. He thinks they make great play moustaches and eyebrows (unibrows, that is, like Bert from Sesame Street). I think they make dashing hair ribbons and bowties. Call me a doting Mommy, but I think he shows great promise in this arena.

I love the SO's origami making,( and his drawing )he obviously gets his artistic talent from his mum.Small children are so lovely.They are so eager to learn and are like little sponges as they soak up all the knowledge and copy what we do. Well done SO.
Thanks, Gladys! The origami is still holding his interest, which I count as a plus. I was quite impressed that he found several entertaining uses for his little crumpled pieces of art!
