[Origami] What makes a great convention? The OI Origami Lounge

[Ilan Garibi]

Dear origami friends,

The Covid situation forced us to rethink all we know about folding events.
Yes, nothing can beat actually being there, eating the local food, talking
to everyone, jumping from table to table, and interacting. Interaction,
this may be the key issue, isn't it?

We spent a lot of time trying to crack this puzzle, and we think we found
it!

In our first Origamisrael International Convention, we are going to
introduce the Origami Lounge!

Throughout the three days of the convention, 24 hours a day, the Origami
Lounge will be open as a separate room, besides the three devoted to
workshops.

The lounge will be full of tables, and once you are there, choose the table
you want and join it! We will have tables dedicated to Tessellations,
Modulars, Complex Design, and Easy Folding.

We can also open more tables, all you need is to ask! Do you want to have a
table for Spanish Speakers? Portuguese Folders? Action-Origami Lovers? Do
you want to teach a certain model? We can open a table for every one of you
(up to 45 tables, first come, first serve)!

Furthermore, after 23:00 (GMT+2), the Lounge will get a makeover, and it
will be a bar. If you want to join, you must hold a beer or a glass of
wine. Our DJ will play some background music, to allow for a late-night
folding frenzy!

If you want to join, make sure you download the 121-page booklet first,
from the event page on Mixiliy:

We hope to have you with us!

Ilan, Guy, and the whole OI team

[Origami] Platt & Munk 2-in-1 Origami Double Kit

[Sandy Campbell]

I recently purchased a Platt & Munk educational activity 2-in-1 Origami Double 
Kit for oriental paper folding and origami mobiles at a flea market.  The box 
has 1964 as the copyright. The kit originally included two easy to follow 
instruction books.  However, only one booklet was still in the box. Everything 
else was still in the box.  I’m hoping to find the second instruction book.
