Chi O often uses red and white. I think they sometimes use gold trim as well, so their 'official' colors may be red and gold (yellow), technically.

Where can you find origami paper in Eugene Oregon?

I love Origami thanks for showing interest in it! Not many people are interested in, it takes a lot of time! Anyways some good places are... Please note these are not in a order from best-worst.

1. U of O book store (they have quite a selection my experience is that the paper isn't high quality, but I'm sort of a paper snob since I've experienced many different paper types)

2. Sunrise Market (pretty expensive but cool designs)

3. Michael's (they have a great prices and their paper is good, if your looking to save money go here)

Hope I helped

How do you make origami ships?

This origami ship is a simple project that can be completed in just a few minutes. While most traditional origami models are folded from a square of paper, this model is folded from a rectangle - an 8½" X 11" sheet of copy paper. Once you have successfully folded this ship, you can adjust the size of the rectangle in order to render a larger or smaller model. Any paper you choose, however, should be at least as heavy as the copy paper. Apart from the paper, you'll need a long wooden skewer for the ship's mast, a small square of paper for the sail, a pencil, and a pair of scissors. You'll also need a surface upon which to fold your model. Folding against a surface that is hard and flat will allow you to make the accurate folds and sharp creases necessary for a successful model. Tables and hardback books make excellent folding surfaces. Follow the directions carefully and move on to the next step only when you are sure that all previous steps have been correctly completed. Make each crease as sharp as possible by running a pencil or ruler edge over each one as you work. 1. Position a sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" paper on your work surface so that the short edges are facing up and down. If you are using two-sided paper, then the color you want for the exterior of the ship should be facing up. 2. Bring the top edge down to meet the bottom edge. Crease and leave folded. 3. Bring the left edge over to meet the right edge. Crease just enough to mark the vertical center of the model - do not make a sharp crease. Unfold. 4. Bring the left half of the model's folded top edge down to meet the vertical center crease line. Crease and leave folded. Note that this edge will not come all the way down the bottom edge of the paper. 5. Repeat Step 4 for the right half of the model's folded top edge. Note that Steps 4 -5 form two triangular flaps at the top of the model. 6. Bring the bottom edge of the model (top layer only) up as far as it will easily go. Crease and leave folded. The resulting crease line should run along the bases of the two triangular flaps formed in Steps 4 -5. Turn the model over. 7. Bring the bottom edge of the model up to create a folded strip that is identical to the one created in Step 6. Crease and leave folded. Turn the model over. 8. Open up the bottom edge of the model and push in at its left and right points. The center of the model's top layer should rise up as the points come together and the bottom layer should fold downward in a similar manner. Press the model flat between your hands and rotate it to the right. 9. Position the diamond shaped model on your work surface so that the open end is still facing you and what was the top of the model in Step 8 is now facing to the right. 10. Bring the bottom point of the model (top layer only) up to a point that is approximately 1/2" from the top point. Crease and leave folded. 11. Turn the model over and repeat Step 10. 12. Repeat Step 8. 13. Bring the blunted bottom point of the model (top layer only) up to meet the top point. The resulting crease line should run along the horizontal center of the model's top layer. 14. Turn the model over and repeat Step 13. 15. Grasp the two flaps that enclose either side of the model's interior point and pull them apart to create the ship. Pull the sides of the ship apart so that the folds of the model separate at its bottom. Set the model aside. 16. Position a small square (approximately 3 1/2") of paper on your work surface so that its points are facing up and down, left and right. Use a pencil to round out the left and right points and use scissors to trim the paper at these drawn lines. This will form the sail of the ship. 17. Bring the top point of the small rounded diamond shape down to meet the bottom point and hold the points together. Do not make a crease. 18. Place the layered points from Step 17 over the tip of a wooden skewer and push down so that the skewer penetrates both layers of paper. This forms the ship's mast. 19. Insert the skewer into the cone shaped protrusion at the model's interior to complete the ship.

How do you quilt with Japanese washi paper?

I have just tried out a washi paper quilting starter kit which I purchased from Hanko Designs. The kit comes with templates, cardboard, foam and instructions. You copy one of the templates onto the cardboard and cut out the shape, then do the same with the foam. You then glue the foam shape onto the cardboard shape. Now comes the difficult part: you take a piece of washi paper and fold it snugly around the shape. Of course you have to cut the paper about a quarter of an inch bigger than the shape, so thatyou have enough to fold behind the shape. It wasn't clear from the instructions whether you are supposed to glue the paper to the back of the shape - I did, because it kept on coming loose. It came out quite nicely for a first attempt, but I realized that I didn't do it quite right - I think the instructions should have been a bit more specific. I hope that more or less answers the question. Good luck, Dorcas (Israel)
