Have some extra free time? Why not try your hand at some paper craft?

The Flying Pig site (the first link) is an excellent resource behides an catalogue for their jaw-dropping models. Check out their mechanisms, complete with animation. After seeing the site, I designed my own animated model as a gift to my girlfriend. The entire process was extremely enjoyable.

I'm now working on making a full-sized shirt entirely in slot-a-into-tab-b fashion for an art class I'm enrolled in.

This, though, is a really robust set of links. You provide enough downloadable PDFs here to engage someone for weeks.

thanks, Robot...for the animal ones from lifeisart.co.jp especially--they look great, and are really simple to make.

Wow, suddenly the little paper puppets I've been working on for a couple of days looks a lot less impressive. Eh, by the same token, I'm making them for a 16 month old, so he's pretty easy to impress. ;)

These are great links! Nicely done.
