OrigamiUSA 2012

Inspired by our origami meetup sessions these past months, Mika and i checked out the public exhibition at this year’s origami convention, and met up with our Brooklyn friend and folding instructor. This year’s centerpiece, a 7-feet long red dragon, was folded over the course of a week out of one giant sheet of paper. There were impressive modulars in all shapes and sizes, classic folding pattern, and some very advanced organic shapes. Check out the grim reaper’s detail … he was only about 12 inches (30 cm) tall! On his way to teaching a workshop, our friend folded a flapping bat for Mika on the fly. We’ll have to learn that pattern at the next meetup…
