My child played with blender and otters (he is 15)

strangeotter.com

He articulated an otter, then another, then another, then made a rocket, then launched them into space.

Still time to join the Granny Life community math/art project at www.grannylifecrochet.com !

My job is assembly, so today I am learning about braided fishing wire and how to tie fishing nets. Hoping to incorporate a strong net grid into the project. It's going to weigh about 15-20 pounds!

Once we ran out of candy - which was way faster than expected, I'd say 9 out of 10 trick-or-treaters were elated to have origami paper. The rest were happy with rocks. One group needed to see a noperthedron
