Hi everyone! I have a mission and I REALLY hope you will all help me out a bit. I want to try to catalog all the different origami gift wrapping techniques that exist. This is different from a box, bag, or envelope model; in an origami gift wrapping technique the gift becomes part of the folding process. Some of the initial folds are made around the gift in order for it to be really wrapped at the end. Know what I mean? Unlike traditional gift wrapping, you wrap the gift using only the paper and folds.
I remember that Dennis Walker had mentioned here in the list that he has used a particular technique for doing this. Dennis, would you please wrap anything with it, take a picture, upload it anywhere in the web and share the URL through the list? If it has a foldless front, please include a picture of the side that shows the folds so we can appreciate it better from an origamistic point of view. But I'm sure Dennis isn't the only one that knows a particular origami gift wrapping technique, Sy Chen knows a couple too. He actually was the one that assigned me this mission ; ) Who else knows one? PLEEEASE... would you all do the same I ask from Dennis: wrap anything using the technique, take a picture, upload it anywhere in the web, and share the URL through the list? Don't forget showing the side with the folds! It would also be very helpful to know how did you learn the technique, if it has a name, and if it is was proposed by a particular origamist. C'mon, don't make me beg... it won't take too much of your time and this can actually help out other people in the future : )
