[Origami] why November 11th is WOD?

2019-10-08 Thread Laura R
I know Oct. 24th is Lillian Oppenheimer’s birthday, which marks the beginning 
of a period known as World Origami Days, until 11/11.
But does anyone know why November 11th was the day chosen in Japan to be the 
World Origami Day?

Matthew, very cool printer developments.
I manually did something similar with laser cutting rigid surfaces and
simultaneously affixing those to very wide 'tape' back in 2009/10, creating
essentially what you see in 2:31 in the video (while working under Erik
Demaine), and then replicating that in 2015 or so using a fancy 3d printer
that could print both rigid and flexible regions (with Andy Lee). But this
is far more exciting and generalizable—I especially like the idea of
affixing such rigid surfaces to cloth via a printer and the results are
stunning.

[Origami] Origami artist needed in the D.C. area.

2019-10-08 Thread Robert C. Smith
Hi Everyone,

I just received a request for a origami artist in the D.C. Area

Name of show:  American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week 2019

Location:  Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington DC

Dates/Hours the artist is needed:  11/4-11/6 from 8am-5pm each day

We would ask that the artist provide the paper but will be reimbursed – will 
provide specs for origami designs and quantities as soon as possible.  

Just as an FYI, this will not be an in-booth activity.  Instead the artist will 
be preparing origami to be displayed in the booth so we are asking that the 
artist be at show site during the install of the booth. Booth design attached.

[Origami] Help contacting Tuan Pham

2019-10-08 Thread Gerardo @neorigami.com
Hello. Can someone please help me contact Tuan Pham.

Facebook name: tuanphamorigami

Flickr name: tuanpham85

I think this information is public (hope so). That's why I'm sharing it
here. I also have an email address, but it was canceled. The problem is
that I don't have a Facebook nor a Flickr account and I don't wish to
create one. So I can't contact Tuan through them.

Can you please help me? I just wish to make Tuan an invitation.


Thank you in advance.
