craftgrrl | "laverne & shirley" and origami shades

two questions for all you lovely ladies and gents:

1. i once came across a great web-site with instructions to make nice little origami shades (the kind that you thread on a string and hang from your ceiling) and book-marked it. it used to be here, but the page no longer exists since it was a feature from an older issue of the magazine called "canadian living". now i'm on the look-out for a different site with similar instructions but have been having trouble finding one, so far! there are sites in the FAQ that provide really complex instructions for origami 3D stars but i was looking for something much simpler... the shades don't have to be in the shape of stars, either.
can anybody help me out??

2. i am also planning on embroidering my initial, "D", on one of my boring old cardigans in the style of laverne from the show "laverne and shirley". i was wondering if anybody knew of a nice cursive font in which the D looks similar to the font of the "L" on laverne's shirt? in case any of you haven't seen the show or need to be to be reminded...
