Did you find what you were looking for?
According to the statistics Squidoo provides me as a lensmaster, people especially like the designs in the Plexo I grabbed from kab's chiyogami lens. Many of my visitors from a search engine seem to be looking for a specific papercraft project, usually some kind of origami; if you are such a person, and your search hasn't been successful, you could leave a request in the guestbook so that I or one of my readers might help you find it!
