World Origami days starts on October 24 and will last for 2 weeks (until the 11th of November). The former date coincides with the birthday of the founder of Origami USA - Lillian Oppenheimer, while the latter date is designated as Japan's Origami Day.
This is a big international celebration to honor the Art of Origami.
In my small way, I thought of coming up with my simple gift to celebrate the JOY of paper folding, and in gratitude to all the people who in many ways nurtured and influenced me to embrace this art form.
These will include my family and friends, origami masters (past, present and upcoming), web tutorials etc... you know who you are :-).
From the famous classic novel by Jules Verne, here is my origami interpretation of one of its most memorable scene.

| Maekawa Squid and Redpaper Boat |
The battle of the giant colossal squid and Captain Nemo's ship. Remembering the old legends telling of massive marine monsters attacking boats - how sea creatures pulled ships underwater.
Is this possible? I believe so and you may see for yourself in this discovery science video by zoologist - Dr Clyde Roper.
Well that's all so much for the day - an Art and a Science session
