A couple of questions

Hi,

I've been doing Origami for a few years but up until recently I only knew a few different models. I got a book of Origami for Christmas and since then I've started really getting into it and trying to learn some more difficult stuff.

The main reason I'm on this forum is that I'm in the middle of trying to do the Bee by Marc Kirschenbaum (http://dev.origami.com/diagram_load.cfm?pdfname=bee.pdf) and I'm stuck on step 30 where it says "wrap a single layer around each side". I just can't figure out how to do it without completely disrupting all the other folds. Have I done something wrong or is there something really obvious that I've missed?

My other question is can anyone suggest any models suitable for folding really tiny? So far my best is a 7mm long Turtle and a 15mm Pidgeon, can you think of anything else that'd be good?

Oh also, how do you fold a square into thirds without any measuring?
