[Origami] Origami is a time of distancing

[Lisa Corfman]

Hi Folders!

Lonely? In a time when physical contact is bad, emotional and social passion is 
EXTREMELY important. 

I have folded hundreds and hundreds of miniature origami models to turn into 
earrings in the past two weeks.  I think we should have an origami pandemic!  

I posted to Instagram a short video of my origami galore.  Please share yours!  
And I hope you enjoy the below link to my Instagram post!

Stay safe, healthy and keep folding!

[Origami] Looking for short, direct origami videos

[Lisa Corfman]

Hi Paperfolders!,

I am looking for short, direct and interesting origami videos.

For example, Faye shared this one with the o-list about folding a material
in half *x* amount of times: https://youtu.be/AfPDvhKvaa0.

I would love something that says everything about origami concisely, and in
a cool way.  I would also love a 5 minute or less video on bases ~ on
people ~ on origami uses (medicine, outer space, art, functions, therapy,
education, etc.) ~ on math ~ on the crane... and anything else interesting
to the novice or professional.

Right now, this is for my after school teaching job to 1st and 2nd
graders.  With the proper permissions, I am happy to put anything that
spreads the joy and amazement of origami, in a gallery at the online
Origami Museum, https://OrigamiMuseum.org.

You may email me at l...@origamiplace.com with your thoughts.

Re: [Origami] recent surveys of origami artworks

[Lisa Corfman]

Re: recent surveys of origami artworks (Matthew Gardiner),

Apologies: server issues caused my delayed response

Per Matthew Gardiner inquiry on 11/14/16 9:12 PM:



>just doing some research, in the last 10-15 years or so we have seen a
few, what the art world would call, surveys of origami art. These would
include exhibitions of a group of artists, curated (works are selected by
an individual or group), generally international, and is likely a touring
exhibition, rather than a one off exhibit at a say a convention.


I'm aware of a couple, but perhaps there has been some others that I'm not
aware of:


Masters of Origami - Hangar 7 - Salzburg, Austria (2005)

Above the Fold - Arts & Artists

Folding Paper: The infinite Possibilities of Origami - Arts & Artists

Surface to Structure - Cooper Union -New York



Does anyone know of any other major exhibitions out there?

[Origami] Permission question

[Lisa Corfman]

Hey Folders!

I am excited to be starting an after school job entertaining kindergarten
through 3rd graders. I get to run an activity daily with the kids. My
question is, can I teach origami and whose models can I teach? I am not
getting paid to teach the kids origami, I am just making sure they are safe
and have a good afternoon. I do want to inspire a love of origami in the
kids. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Lisa

[Origami] Online Origami Museum

[Lisa Corfman]

Hi Folders!

I am writing to invite you to be an exhibitor in an online origami museum.

The museum will start online, but if interest pursues, it will become an
actual museum.

There will be a general page that has origamist names, countries,
biographies and an image that represents the artist. Each artist can have
their own page with their name, general statement, pictures of origami that
they BOTH designer and folded, artist statements about models, web presence
and notes if you wish.


There is an online questioner to participate at:
*https://www.research.net/r/Survey_for_Origami_Online_Museum
*

Here is the link to the page to invite you to be an exhibitor in the
museum: www.rockyartsunfolded.com/Services/Exhibitions

Here is the page that the finished survey leads to were you can submit
pictures as well as questions: www.rockyartsunfolded.com/Services/Museum

The online presence in the gallery, will help in choosing origami
exhibitions. Storage of donated artworks will be divided by person, each
having their own container/box. Participation is completely voluntary, and
there are no charges involved.

Thank you! I would be happy to answer any question.

[Origami] Call for a maker for 2 Origami 3D Honey Badgers

[Lisa Corfman]

Hi Folders!


I have an Etsy commission request from someone who inquired if I can make
two origami honey badgers. Since I do not know the model I am asking if I
you or someone else here can make one with elegance. I am asked if you are
up for the challenge. It is a paid project where I am asking for a small
referral fee. Sean, the commissioner, asked for a female and a male badger,
3D, where I would get $5 or 10%, whichever is greater, so he thinks it will
be about $50. It would just be used for personal reasons. I am happy to
arrange this; I just need to clarify the numbers. Basically, can you do
this, what would you charge and how much would shopping be?



Here is the message from Sean who inquired about  a commission:
   Hi! I stopped by your booth at the Boston convention center (I think
that is the name of it) this past year. I was wondering if you could make
two origami honey badgers. Adult size (vs. adult and baby); they will
supposed to represent one male and one female, though if they look
identical that's fine too. I have attached a couple origami honey badgers
pictures that I found online. Please let me know what you think. There
would be no rush on this. Thanks! Sean Gregory
Let me know privately at lbcorf...@comcast.net.

I can send the picture he sent me, because not it is not possible in this
email format. So email me and I will email them to me along with clearing
up any details.

Thanks!

These murals use six existing red panels, each about 3 feet wide by 6 feet

convenient.

dirty.

Re: [Origami] Origami Digest, Vol 159, Issue 10

[Lisa Corfman]

I have an origami museum YouTube channel.  Some music may be good in a 
classroom setting if there is one in your museum.  Go to www.YouTube.com and 
look for Lisa Corfman.  I would be happy to post other people’s origami Museum 
there, as well.

I think the museum music should me on the quiet side.  Perhaps maybe no lyrics 
for most of the time with maybe 30 seconds being more uplifting every 15 
minutes.  Does the community support that thought?

You can reach me at l...@origamimuseum.org

Folding Warmly,
Lisa
