Hello folders, I have been a volunteer origami teacher at my local community centre for nearly 10 years now. On September 10th, we are holding an open-doors event, and I've thought of displaying a massive installation to... you know, just to show off, origami naturally. The most ginormous gathering of mice ever observed......in Carcassonne (-:
Some years ago, I had installed a flock of flying greylag geese in their V-shaped flight formation (by Gerard Ty Sovann), hanging from the ceiling, that was cool, but people had to lift their head to see... Nowadays, I specially like Tanaka Masashi's Mouse <http://www.spitenet.com/origami/Mouse-v.shtml>, and I thought a giant mass of rodents flooding all over the place would be impressive. As we are only about myself and 2 of my newly 1st year O-graduates, I thought I'd invite folders from abroad to participate and help us fold the invasion, hundreds of them. Deadline is September 10th. To take part simply send your folded mouse to MJC Carcassonne <http://www.mjc-carca.org/> France. Any rodent will be accepted, fed and let live its own life in a friendly environment. It needn't be anything fancy. just a simple mouse. What we need is number. And as we all know, when the 1000th mouse is folded, a wish is granted (-; Please e-mail me if you need more info. As a reward, our eternal gratitude will escort you until the world stops folding, your name and country will be displayed on the list of participants (a list of far away countries of origin can be impressive too). I welcome good ideas as my project has just sprouted, and I launched it without any second thought (-: Here is for choice : http://www.giladorigami.com/origami-Rodents http://www.origami-resource-center.com/chinese-zodiac.html#rat http://oriwiki.com/searchResultsModels.php?IC=&Term1=mouse&Term2=&Term3=&Models=1 (as you visit here, you might send Dennis Walker a picture of your masterpiece to help illustrate the database) I thank you for your attention, and for your potential participation.
