Kano Jacket Upgrade

This is my old Kano Jacket, which I upgraded with *drumrolls please* a waist-band!

I also extended the sides of the jacket (the part that flops open in the wind), but unfortunately it isn't visible in my photo.

It is very amazing that such a minuscule alteration could make a boring, shapeless jacket into one that is actually kind of fashionable!

This is me (or, at least a back-view of me) at Anime Expo at Los Angeles in the LA Convention Center

Cool Origami Dragons

These are made with the instructions written for Origami Simple Dragon, by Shuki Kato

These dragons are folded using only single sheet of origami paper. The thing I love about Kato's design is that it is so simple, and yet the result looks much cooler than any other dragon origami that is foldable with regular-sized origami paper (5 in. x 5 in.)

  

I especially love folding the gold dragon, which is my eastern zodiac(:D), because it glimmers in the sun. Also, foil paper is perfect  to use when folding complicated, but not too complicated origami like Simple Dragon, since it easily retains its shape, folds, and creases.
