[Origami] Hajime Komiya Dahlia: Step-Photos

2013-05-08 Thread M. Chila Caldera
I have made a PDF of my Step-Photos, for Mr Hajime Komiya’s beautiful Dahlia. I 
would love to share with my friends and post on my blog page, eventually. I 
would like to contact Mr Kamiya, either directly or via someone who knows how 
to contact him. I will send him the PDF and am asking his permission to share 
(the PDF states “do not sell, personal use only, always give credit”).
