Hi all- I love these suggestions for activities at conventions. What would be EVEN better is to actually come to convention AND lead these activities. It's easy to say "someone" should do something, but what convention planners and attendees NEED to folk to come up with good ideas, and then actually make it happen. The next in-person OUSA convention is in SanFrancisco in October, Ken, may I ask for your commitment to lead this activity?

It's amazing that she can do it with standard origami paper. I was thinking that oversized paper would be needed for a competition. Foot folding competitions used to be the rage at origami conventions about 20-25 years ago. Usually they were done with regular 15cm origami paper. Variants also occurred: blindfolded, folding with a partner, etc. Yamaguchi-san once tried to get me to participate in Tokyo, and I begged off by saying I wanted to protect everyone from the smell of my feet. ---------- Joseph Wu, Origami Artist (via iPhone) Interesting! Okay, what about a competition where people have to fold an origami crane using only things from the neck up, which, I suppose in practice, would mean mainly the mouth and some assist from a nose?
