These geese, flying south;
from these mountains and valleys,
I fold my own birds.

Geese are flying south.
From mountain and valley folds
birds come to my hand.

Honkers flying south;
from the mountains and valleys
a bird folds to hand.

While I initially liked the second best, it probably doesn't work if you don't know (1) mountain & valley folds and (2) that you've been doing origami. This conveys that better.

Yeah, that's more or less the reason I kept working on it.

Oo -- that's a NICE steggy. Looks like the Montroll model? Only, how'd the folder get it so small? Oy!

(I'm at our local con right now, and the anime room had origami paper out -- so I've been folding during panels and readings and leaving the results around the registration desk. I've Montrol's Chinese zodiac/mythological creatures book with me. The griffin folded from 6-inch paper is *cute*.)

A lot of hard work, I think. =>

No chance of a picture of the griffin?

It was gone before I could get one. I snapped one of the Chinese dragon from the same volume, though -- I'll post that if I can get it downloaded.
