Lawsuit between origami enthusiasts unfolds
Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper. You start with one square sheet. You crease it, fold it and pretty soon you've created a bird or maybe a frog.
Expert origami artists can take that same sheet and make elaborate flowers or lifelike insects.
There's a lawsuit pending though, that could shake up the craft of origami, and the art world in general. Reporter Sanden Totten takes us inside a dispute between and origami maker and a painter.
