Kimon- o- ver to my place!
Word play is EASY, but here is something that took a lot of playing around with, using teeny tiny bits of paper before I got the hang of it. Do not attempt this feat of art with taped up fingers - lol!

I saw this kimono on a card making site, that featured the kimono as an embellishement on the front of the card. It should have come with the following warning:

WARNING: This kimono is rated 10/10 on the manual dexterity scale! People with a nervous disposition shouln't even think about starting this project.

Its size, is probably what makes it such a challenge to fold and make. It really is folding on a minature scale. But I rose to the challenge, and made several clumsy attempts before coming up with one I could be pleased with. (Ok - I admit that there were several bags of discarded paper, many cups of strong tea to steady the hands and a few missing tufts of hair later, before a decent kimono appeared before me!) It was worth it!

thank you Moni - I think though by the time I made it I was over it, AND origami in general, but I did enjoy the experience!

My one attempt at origami was to try
to make a paper crane. My experience was that the
first couple of instructions that I found on the internet
and in the kit I bought were not explicit enough for a
beginner. Then I found a much better set of instructions
with diagrams and finally was able to complete one.

Excellent work! I'm aboutto embark on some new origami - boxes with fancy lids. I struggle with these directions too sometimes so wish me well!
