Take A Trip To The Moon

This is an incredible lesson well told. If you fold a piece of paper 25 times, it would be as tall as the Empire State Building.

If you can spare less than 4 minutes, you will learn something you will never forget.

Up! With Papercraft

We’ve a bit neglectful of our folding and glueing as of late, yet papercraft figurines fill up our bowl with joyful memories.  

We could definitely use some new designs if you are hiding them any where.  
We are sure you can understand why we were so excited to find this grumpy old guy.  We have set the timer for the new Pixar flick, and any new bit of news or super neato giveaway gets our heart all a flutter.  
Fold, baby, fold!

Thanks /film!

Woody Is Mershed

We always hesitate when we want to put a “mersh” in The Bowl, but it is always a good place to source some animation.  Here we get three great loves: Mr. Guthrie, 2D animation, and papercraft, so who are we to be purists?

Kami Robo!


Kami-Robo are robot fighters made from paper, measuring 15 to 20 cm. high.  They have joints at the hips, knees, shoulders, elbows and waists which allow them to bend and move quite freely.  About twenty-six years ago,  Tomohiro Yasui started designing and making these fighters, creating an extensive mythology and heirarchy in the process.  They fight in a ring, but it totally tops pro-wrestling with its drama and keen moves.  NOW the whole world is kami-robo crazed.  You can build your own, or even buy ready-made ones if you are a tad lazy — or in a hurry to join in the fun (so far the only place we’ve found them is at the MOMA store.  There’s lots of great videos on the web too.  This one below gives you a good intro course on their whole story.
