October 9th is known as Leif Erikson Day, an observance that honours the Norse explorer Leif Erikson who is believed to be the first European to ever set foot in North America. The date itself doesn’t really have anything to do with Leif Erikson. Instead it commemorates the date of the start of a large…
This is an update to an older post that was kind of popular but didn’t really have that many images in it. I’ve decided to go back and add in a few more because there are a lot of really great Eastern-style origami dragons out there. The original post is below with a bunch of…
