Origami Elvis


So I missed May, but I've been busy!
My daughter came home from school the other day, and presented me with this Origami Elvis that she made in her G/T class, which only meets for 45 mins. one day a week! She had finished the regular work (for a Gifted/Talented class, wouldn't you hope she'd be at least CHALLENGED?) and the teacher told her she could make something from the Origami book. She chose Elvis!
I love this! She pointed out the side-burn on the far side! So cool!
I'd say it was Elvis in his declining years; no less cool!
I am pleased, since the G/T program only goes to 5th grade, (outrageous!) that she is ending her tenure as the maker of Origami Elvis!
Schools suck! Somethings just never change!

Awesome Origami Elvis. Who makes these things up? And it opens up a multitude of questions... the most compelling is this: If you can make a recognizable origami Elvis, can you also make a recognizable origami anybody? Like... could you make an origami me? Or an origami you?

These are the kinds of things that keep me up at night.

Yes, I believe you could make an origamianybody. In Molly's case, it would be called origamolly.

Nice job on the Elvis, Ade...now go for Clownvis!

I think we're ready for the Origami Michael Jackson.
