A not so complex Bull to try out.

Posted a dollar Bow Tie mostly just to see how it's going to look and be laid out. I'll add a bunch more with diagrams and book recommendations and other nifty goodies.

Oh and just in case no one can figure this out. I'm in the U.S.A. so all references here are in USD. Maybe as I become more advanced and actually get a hold of foreign currency I can add those to the recommended denominations.

I took nearly 100 pictures of some money Origami this weekend but many of them were too blurry for my tastes. I'll have to redo them. Hopefully I'll actually get something up here soon. Maybe I'll just post some of the pictures that turned out then add to them later.

I've had this domain (and variants) for some time now but never really knew what to do with it. I just liked the name and because I tend to visit the local pubs frequently I thought it sounded cool. I used to be into Martial Arts, love to drink and love Kung-Fu movies (especially Legend of Drunken Master). A perfect fit.

Originally I thought I'd do a podcast roundtable at the bar with some other nerd buddies. We'd record our conversations then post them and call it Drunk-Fu. We recorded a few which we thought were pretty funny at the time but listening to them after the fact we decided it wasn't a good idea.

[Switching gears completely]

While in grade school I was lucky enough to make friends not once but twice with exchange students from Japan. In kindergarten and first grade. I loved visiting their place and checking out all of their wonderful foreign things. Comics, toys, books, money, clothes, everything. I was intrigued! Their mothers used to sit down with me and teach me Origami. I was instantly hooked and continued to fold paper up to my early 20's.

A few months ago I suddenly had a spark of interest again. So after nearly 10 years hiatus I'm crazy over folding again. I wished I had kept with it. The mind has a much more difficult time retaining things as it gets older. I used to know how to make so many things; some very complex. I have no idea where it went but I used to have a small briefcase from my childhood where I kept one model of everything I knew how to make. *sniffles* I'm trying to rebuild that. I still have some bits and pieces though.

A good friend noticed I had been playing with paper folding and picked up a book on money Origami. I was hooked immediately and that is currently my passion. I've pulled just about everything from the net that I could find as well as purchase a dozen books or so on the art (money and paper).

[This is where it all ties together]

So how this all comes together is that because I like to drink, like martial arts and love Origami, I've been using folded money (I find the 2$ US a nice unique touch) as tips while out. Technically it's not included as my full tip, it's just a bonus to go along with it. I'm usually inebriated when I make things so there you go.


What I hope to do with this site is to document all of the nifty little things I've learned to make. Provide diagrams when possible and suggest books on the subject. I lead a rather busy life so updates may not be as frequent as I hope. Balancing two parrots, IT job, watching all the crap I download, *trying* to lift weights/work out and be social. Folding calms me but some models can take a while. The first time I made a dragonfly it took me about 2 hours.

Anyhow. Enjoy and I will try to keep this updated with new things all the time.
