Hi Folding Friends,
I was intrigued by Robert Lang article in 'the fold' online magazine. So much so because portraying origami in mixed media has been a passion I dream to be a career. Origami is very much in the hobby category despite countless hours working towards this dream career. I cannot agree with Lang more that, simply being in the 9% that make origami a career, is in fact, a great achievement. As a well-educated individual with a few minor disabilities I enjoy teaching origami and making creative objects, sometimes with a use. I am very thankful for the success of the 'Solo Origami Art Exhibition' campaign, but the battle is still uphill. Sy Chen, and some others, I had not thanked you publicly yet, THANKS! To add to Lang's article, perhaps the creative progression is important beginning, first a struggle, then blossoming, and finally amazing with the final result (we all hope!) Like going to an art gallery, I ask you to view, enjoy, and if you choose, even buy, my new items at: www.etsy.com/shop/RockyArtsUnfolded (a special promotion is going on this month!) I wish for you to find the core rock in your origami pursuits, a grounding rock, something that inspires origami to keeps you in place. PS: I saw Sadoko Sasaki's crane in the memorial museum near ground zero. speechless, amazed, unimaginable connection, blown away, I was near tears. WOW! Keep up the good folds, Lisa B.
