Yesterday I found a link to instructions on how to make an Origami Yoda at www.boingboing.net. Liana decided that even though she had never done any origami before, and even though it was five pages of complex diagrams, she was going to make this little guy. So, off to Hobby Lobby for the origami paper. She started yesterday at 3:30 with the first fold. By 4:40 it was looking hopeless. She was having problems deciphering the instructions and the paper was suffering from being folded and unfolded so many times. She didn't give up though. With just small breaks for sustinance, she continued her work and maintained her focus. Finally, at about 12:45 AM, I was awakened by a little paper Yoda dancing in front of my face. She's knows it's not perfect, but it's not bad for her first origami ever. Now that she's got it down she plans to perfect the Origami Yoda. May the Force be with her.

Update. Here's a view of Origami Yoda, Jr. This only took her about 2 1/2 hours. But, more problems have been solved and we are estimating that the third attempt will probably come in at about 1 hour and 45 minutes. (I altered the pic a little to hide the fact that this one is made from orange paper)
