Why do you do this to yourself Alanna? Arts and crafts are definitely not your trope, as you said, yet time after time here you are for our amusement. We appreciate your dedication to the channel though. Education is always a fascinating subject, especially as my Dad, brother and sister were all teachers. I went to an all boys grammar school where the main attraction was the all girl high school next door! Love all your work and really hope your visa application gets some steam behind it now. Stay safe and happy.

2020-07-13 00:52:33 +0000 UTCI'm lucky to have been working throughout this thing we're going through, I'm a chef feeding staff at Amazon, so nothing major... Watching Adventures and Naps, gardening and adult colouring books gets me through the rest of the time 👍🙈 This video was strangely compelling 🤣 glad to see you have some positive news on your visa application, at least the delay has allowed you to be with your family during what must be a trying time ❤️ I would like a video concentrating on education, that would be interesting, I experienced education in the UK, going to a Church of England school and also I lived abroad in the Middle East, I approve of uniforms, disapprove of the religious aspect of UK schooling and I think that Grammar Schools are a distraction from improving the whole education system.

2020-07-12 15:58:32 +0000 UTCExcellent work, That first one was a really complicated pattern so I think you got pretty close! I was always told in real Japanese Origami you weren't allowed to cut or glue but maybe that'd not the rule anymore! The school stuff is really interesting, I am surprised that it is actually illegal to sing hymns at public school in Ontario that seems extreme. (I like how from living in the UK, Only fools has slipped into your vocab as you said Lovely Jubbly in that video😂😎)

2020-07-12 10:59:01 +0000 UTCWhen I was at school, people would fold up paper into a little pyramid thing with words written on the various faces. They would then flex the pyramid so it turned inside out and whichever words appeared together were supposed to mean something. Years later, I saw Vi Hart's videos about hexaflexagons and realised that's what the people at school had been making a version of all along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIVIegSt81k This Patreon video reminded me of that, so thanks for the trip down memory lane :) At the non-religious state schools I went to here in Scotland in the 80s and 90s, we had uniforms, recited the Lord's Prayer every morning in primary school (ages 4/5 to 11/12), sang hymns at assembly, had a local minister come and speak to us quite regularly and so on. One day in secondary school (ages 11/12 to 17/18, but you could leave at 16), we had the Gideon people turn up and give us all a bible. On the walk home from school, the nearby river got filled with little red Gideon bibles. Next day, the entire school got hauled into a special assembly about how disappointed the school was in us. For a non-religious school, we seemed to have a lot of religious stuff going on :(

2020-07-12 02:18:58 +0000 UTCI also went to public school here in Ontario. I remember we had to wear just uniform tops in elementary school, which seems to have become the norm now with all elementary schools, at least in the area I live. Then at my high school (also public) we also had to wear just uniform shirts. The only public high school in the city, or any city that I know of, that had to wear uniform shirts because the school had a bad reputation of being "rough." I guess they thought anyone from outside of the school couldn't get their hands on a uniform shirt to come and cause trouble.

2020-07-11 18:14:16 +0000 UTCWhen you worked for the school in Kent, you worked from home? Are you gonna be able to go back to that job or will you need a new one?

2020-07-11 16:12:40 +0000 UTCI love how your sister's dog pondered whether to check out the mail or watch your attempt at origami anymore. He looked so disappointed in you before exiting stage right...🇨🇦

2020-07-11 11:47:44 +0000 UTCHi Alanna, that was brilliant, I do like your arts and crafts videos because your results are about as good as mine would be but you make it so entertaining. I hope the biometrics appointment goes well and I am thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. Looking forward to your next video soon.

2020-07-11 11:11:22 +0000 UTCYet another confusing fact about the UK - our public schools are fee-paying (i.e., private)!

2020-07-11 10:19:01 +0000 UTCThat was great Alanna! Yet again you tread the path between success and failure with the skill of a mountain goat. A lot of tension in this episode, not knowing if it will work until the final reveal. Rather like watching a bomb being defused! I empathise with your childhood origami trauma. I remember going to a party as a kid and we made paper boats to sail on the pond. My one didn't look the same as my friends, and on it's launch turned turtle and sank. The memory still haunts me. PS. You and the dog would make a great double act. 😊

2020-07-11 10:16:38 +0000 UTCI'm gonna be that annoying person. If you use cutting, it's called "kirigami." I own several origami books bought from Chapters-Indigo. But it's been years since I've folded anything other than shirts from US dollar bills (people I know keep asking me to fold for them).
Wayne Yu
2020-07-11 10:01:09 +0000 UTC11:20, "Origami is a lot of folding". Yes, yes it is. Funny video, if only someone had suggested it sooner :-)

2020-07-11 09:47:21 +0000 UTCThat was hilarious lol! I've only just woken up and you've already made my day. Ive not been feeling great recently but you've been really helping me feel better. So, thank you so much for all the effort that you put into your content, its really appreciated.
