Holiday Whirly-gigs

These pretty origami whirly-gig pinwheels were made in TX by a friendly person who sells her paper ephemera on Etsy.com.  She and I have had twenty or so back-and-forth comments to each other since I ordered the pinwheels due to the order being sent to someone else by mistake. It's a long and not very interesting story to tell, but if I'd known ahead about how long it would take for the unintended recipient to send them to me, I'd have registered for a class and become an Origami Master myself!  

Wire Thing-a-ma-jigs

Ah, so THIS is what a thing-a-ma-jig looks like! These were made by a thing-a-ma-jig professional in Rolla, MO. 

I had the pro send me some little ones, too -- known in Spanish as thing-a-ma-jigitos -- to assemble into dangly-jigs, but they are much too "-ito" to use, dang it.

Here are a couple of shots of the craziness

 
This might be all that will go on the Let It Go with Gizmos, Gadgets, and Thing-a-ma-jigs HGE tree. Any more stuff and my eyes might cross!
