origami

Story:
for months at the Columbus Circle 1 train station (downtown-side) I have seen
models and a lot of Metrocard Oragami in the window inside the ticket booth.

Just the other day I finally met the gentleman who makes these oragami balls.
He gave me one and said, "take it apart and you'll see how to make them for yourself."

So, I did just that. My first one, while I was able to piece it together,
looked like crap—too many folds.

My second, third, forth, fifth, sixth etc have been coming out really tight and
now I have people offering me money for them. I sold my first one on my
ride home from work. $20.00 a tourist from Los Angeles bought one.
