Hi Anna,
I would have liked to participate again but alas, I can't. I've had a rather
hectic 6 months and I didn't even fold much, let alone get around to
designing, my head was just too full with other things. I know I didn't have
to cancel but as I participated in all the other editions I thought it
polite to do so anyway. You know I appreciate the initiative and all the
work you put in and I thank you for that. I hope this won't be your last
effort because the books gave me a lot of pleasure over the years and I
really hope to be a participant again next year.
Origards,

Subject: [Origami] Christmas Origamibook 2013
Dear all,
For the eighths time there will be an Origami Christmas book this year.
This will be a book from creators to creators containing previously
unpublished instructions only.
That's how it works:
Everyone who wants to participate sends me (at least) one previously
unpublished folding instruction. Afterwards I assemble them all into a
pdf-file with a table of contents and send it back to all
participants. In the end everyone of them gets a nice compilation of
diagrams that aren't available elsewhere.
Everyone who wants to take part can send his/her instructions to
Origamibook AT gmail DOT com
(Replace "AT" with "@" and "DOT" with ".")
The last date to send your instructions is December 15.
I'll send the book out on December 24 (hence the name Christmas
Origamibook).
Hopefully many people will contribute to this project so that we´ll
get a nice book together :)
Nice Greetings
Anna
PS: I'm glad for everyone to spread the word to other people, be it on
Forums, Mailing lists or whatever else.

Some questions (and their answers) that have been asked before:
* Do I need to send computer drawn diagrams?
No, hand drawn diagrams or other clear instructions (photo or text)
count as well, but I need them electronically.
* Can I send more than one diagram?
Yes of course, as many as you want.
* Can I have a copy of the book without sending something in?
No, this project is thought as an exchange of folding instructions and
not to earn money with it. If you don't have an own model to diagram
maybe you can draw diagrams for someone else's model, so that you two
can participate as one person. For help in finding someone see here:

* Have the models to be Christmas related?
No they don't. Christmas is just the date you will receive the book.
* Can I send Crease Patterns and Text Instructions as well?
Yes, but make sure to also send a picture of the finished model.
Diagrams are preferred.
* Is it possible to obtain the books of the previous years?
Yes, by sending more than one unpublished diagram, you can "buy"
previous editions (one book per additional diagram).
If you send more than one diagram and want to obtain back issues
please tell which one(s) you want.
