Re: [Origami] eBay and origami
-Original Message- From: Dee and Bob Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 7:43 PM To: origami Subject: [Origami] eBay and origami Each day from the beginning of November through the end of December, ebay is featuring a holiday-themed origami design that appears as a tiny vignette in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. The company asked me to make 15 designs based on specific images including a turkey, Santa Claus, Christmas tree, Christmas wreath, dreidel, polar bear, cardinal, bells, etc. Some of what I produced is single-piece origami from a square, while other designs (by necessity, given the image they're based on) are composed of multiple pieces and are more like paper craft. Two images have already appeared that are earlier designs of mine, a reindeer and a couple of penguins. Unfortunately, the images only seem to appear on some people's computers, perhaps depending on whether one is a frequent ebay user or not (they have yet to show up on my screen). But if you can find them. . . enjoy! (And if anyone can uncover the secret for how to make them appear, please let me know.) --Peter Engel An Origami model appeared on the upper left side of the ebay webpage when I visited today. I am using IE9 version 9.0.8112.16421

I'll keep my eyes open for it though. Dee
