Teaching my friend’s son origami.  

When I was very young, maybe 5-7, I spent summer days with my father at his studio in the Exchange District.  One day he took me to a bookstore.  The owner was an elderly man.  He had a business card, I remember, and the business card said he was not only the owner of a bookstore, but that he was an “origamist” too.  I liked him.  He taught me how to make this.  

I didn’t learn the name of the model until much later--Magic Rose Cube by Valerie Vann.  Somehow, I never forgot how to make it.  

I’m no old man, and I certainly don’t own a bookshop (yet!) but it feels good to pass along information like this.
