On holiday in Venice this past month, I happened upon a lovely little Japanese arts and crafts shop, Sabbie e Nebbie ("Sand and Mist" http://www.italiadiscovery.it/ve/sabbieenebbie/ ). On the counter, with pride of place among exquisite handmade cards and fabrics, stood the 2013 Origami Page-A-Day Calendar--open to Laura Kruskal's Stand-Up Letterfold!
The proprietor, Maria Teresa Laghi, was astonished and delighted to learn that I knew Laura and Margaret Van Sicklen. Signora Laghi also brought out several beautifully folded modular geometrics in red paper that a visitor from Japan? Korea? had made for her. She saves them for display at Christmas time. Anyone know who the mysterious red-paper folder was? Happy 90th Birthday, Laura! I am so lucky to do origami with you every month and see your latest creations!
