Why not ask here on the list? Questions like this are, after all, kind of
the whole point of the list.

No guarantees of an answer, of course, but you'll reach the most people by
sending your question widely. And everyone else gets to benefit from the
answer, too!

For what it's worth the basics of the proportion/sizes of A-series paper
are described here:

It's a little dry/terse, but ought to get you started.

Re: [Origami] Origami Sighting...Chinese Film

2016-06-05 Thread sue neff
I rented a remarkable Chinese film from the library this week:

"The Blue Kite" (1993)

Directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang.

In the film a young bride receives as a wedding gift a paper cut.

There are many paper cuts pasted on windows throughout the

film.  Later, for her young son (approx age 2) she folds a "Blow-up"

frog origami model ( ? with extended legs).  I've never seen this particular

model before.  Does anyone know if this traditional Chinese model has

been published/ diagrammed anywhere?

Our other Club news:  the family of Mrs. Teruko Shiono, who died recently,

has donated to OCoP a large supply of: OUSA Annuals; origami books; and

paper supplies.  OCoP plans to share these supplies with the origami clubs
at:

Sq. Hill, East Liberty  and Dormont Libraries; CMU and Univ. of Pgh.  We are

most grateful to the Shiono family for this support of our program.
