I have been trying to reach their website at www.fascinating-folds.com
but all of the nameservers I've tried say it's non-existent. What's
up???

Someone on the listserv list said recently that it was defunct.

Wah! And I was just getting ready to send them another order.

So, for those of us with habits, who's the best replacement paper pusher?

www.kimscrane.com is good. (I placed a large order this past Friday
evening and it showed up Tuesday morning!) They have an overwhelmingly
huge selection.

www.shizu.com is also really good, although they have a smaller (but not
small) selection. (They're in Pasadena CA, 10 miles from where I live,
so I get to go see everything!)

I went through Janet Hamilton's list
(http://www.sxpress.com/~origamisources/) which seems really up-to-date.
It notes that Fascinating Folds' remaining stock is being sold in lots at
www.brensan.com. The lots are really big and you can't really see
exactly what you're getting.

A place called Sax Arts & Crafts has a *huge* selection at good prices
(start browsing their catalog at
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000776I5/
002-3814753-1323223?current-page-variant=C155#reader
(you're going to have to join the two above lines. My reader won't let
me post long lines.)
or go to their site at www.saxarts.com for a search interface) but
on-line you can only order from junebug.com, which is a school resource,
and you can't register unless you work for a school district. (I suppose
I should send them email asking.)

Gah. I've gotten too much paper recently already.
