Sato also uses thin, translucent
paper so that when she places one
finished piece on another, a wonderful
visual effect is created. You dont
always have to place one on top of
another meticulously so there is no
gap, she said. Its intriguing if you
intentionally place them slightly
off-centre, so new patterns emerge
on the layers. They have a colorful
kaleidoscopic look.
She draws designs and makes
paper patterns by herself. The process,
however, is difficult for beginners, so
using published paper patterns is the
best way to start out.
I learned how to make a simple
piece called mukai-cho (two
butterflies with their heads facing
each other).
Sato said I needed a paper pattern;
a regular square coloured sheet of
paper, such as that used for origami;
a stapler; a paper cutter and a pair of
scissors.
I prepared a sheet measuring 15
by 15 centimetres, a regular size for
origami. A cutter for handiwork is
useful for detailed work.
To make the mukai-cho, I followed
these instructions:
1. Fold the paper into two to make
a triangle, and fold it again to make a
smaller triangle.
2. Place the paper pattern on the
sheet and staple them together at

Singapore (The Straits
Times, ANN) -- Call it the year
of the Digital Monkey. Virtual
red packets, e-yusheng, LED-lit
lucky plants - Chinese New Year
traditions are getting a new techie
spin.
Here are six new products for
you to stay festive and up to date.
1 Led-lit plants
These glowing, LED-lit
tangerine, cherry blossom, plum
blossom and desert rose plants
range in price from under US$100
to more than US$500, and can
be found in at least four shops in
Chinatown.
One shop, which is at
78 Pagoda Street but has no
signboard, sells a 90cm-tall,
1kg shrub for US$78. Its most
expensive plant - a 1.8m-tall, 9kg
bush - costs US$538.
The shops manager, Mr
Roland Teo, 40, started importing
these plants from China in 2012
to cater to families who want
decorative plants, but have no
time to care for them.
He says: My plants require
zero maintenance. They dont
have to be watered daily. They can
also be re-used every year. While
they run on electricity, they are
energysaving.
He sells 100 to 200 LED
plants every Chinese New Year
and has already sold 60 plants
since Christmas.
Housewife Doris Yeo, 59,
who is thinking of decorating her
home with them, says: They are
definitely eye-catching and have
an interesting concept. I like that
they can be used year after year.
But the drawback is that they
consume electricity and add to
the bills.
As to whether LED-lit plants
are as good as the real thing, she
LED-lit plants, which are sold in Chinatown, require zero maintenance and can be re-used.
