"Green" Origami   Do you have some interesting scrap paper you ought to use for something?  I recently made a giant crane from an old movie poster that the rental store was giving away free.  kusudama-flower-hm.jpgThe store owner is displaying it at the cash register. He says it's quite the conversation piece!
