[Origami] Origami in a lifestyle magazine

2015-04-23 Thread Sanja Srbljinovic Cucek
Greetings from Zagreb!

In the March 2015 Croatian edition of the the highly popular women's
lifestyle magazine Sensa themed Mind and Body, origami was presented on six
pages. On the cover page it was highlighted as a meditation of patience and
creativity.

Hope you will like it :)

All the best,

[Origami] Antelope Valley, CA, USA, Origami Meetings - Reminder for May

2015-04-23 Thread Michila Caldera
There are two meetings each month, for people who want to do paperfolding,
in the Antelope Valley, Mojave Desert, California, USA.


Sat, 02 May:  The next HiDEF (Hi-Desert Enthusiastic Folders) meeting will
be held on --- Saturday, 02 May, from 1-4pm, at the Lancaster Public
Library.

Tue, 05 May:  The next RUFF (Rosamond Upbeat Folding Fanatics) meeting will
be held on --- Tuesday, 05 May, from 5-7pm, at the Rosamond Public Library.


For the May meetings I will be prepared to teach the following:
- Heart Letterfold from 8.5x11 paper.
- Robert Neale’s Magic Star and perhaps a variation by Tung Ken Lam.
- Corazon Flecha, another standing heart, that I found in a BOS
Convention book.
- And as always, if someone else wants to teach something or has a
model they want to fold, bring your stuff! I can also teach other simple
and intermediate models as needed.

[Origami] NO - New Sighting?

2015-04-23 Thread Xander Arena
While driving back and forth from Colorado recently, I noticed many
Semitrailers with folding panels at their tail gate, clearly to reduce
drag. Has anybody noticed these panels? Made mention here?

It seemed like an ori-ish engineering application, so I thought I'd share.
