[Origami] Convention Pictures

[Anna]

Hello,

once again there was a wonderful Origami convention in Tabiano Bagni,
Italy. I had a wonderful time there meeting lovely people, folding
beautiful models, enjoying the good atmosphere.
If you haven't been to an Italian convention so far, you definitely missed
something.
To share with you at least a bit, Gerwin made a whole lot of photos that
you can find here:

Since I'm not sure whether I shared with you, the photos of the other
conventions we attended this year, I'll just put the links here too:

The meeting was great fun with about 230 participants.
I gave a workshop for Yoshimasa Tsuruta's lovely cow.
Special guests have been Beth Johnson, Sebastien Limet and Dirk Eisner.
The food was exceptionally good with delicious loquat for breakfast!
There was also a shopping area with a couple of different sales person
who offered a variety of paper as well as some books and other
supplies.
It was great to meet so many old and new friends.

[Origami] Convention Pictures

Hello,

Gerwin and I have been to two Conventions recently and made lots of
pictures there that we want to share with you.

The first Convention was in Cali, Colombia. It was small but nice and
we made lots of new friends there. Very fascinating for us was that
they have a rather big folding group of blind people, that just mixed
in, gave and took classes like everyone else and being good folders
despite their handicap. Something else that surprised us positively
was that the Colombian folders had a very well balanced ratio of men
and women of all ages and that the things they folded were not gender
related either. There were men and women doing complex folds,
jewellery, animals and everything else you can fold.
One thing I especially liked was the Chocogami contest, where you get
a piece of chocolate that is wrapped in a piece of aluminium foil
together with a small picture and you have to fold the foil into
whatever the picture shows. The entries have all been very creative.
There was a time restraint of 15 minutes to fold your model, but
somehow I understood it wrong and thought I had only 5 minutes, so I
hurried through creating only to find out that I would have had far
more time...

The second Convention was our all time favourite Italy. Since we've
first been there in 2008, we didn't miss a single one. We love the
Italian people, the friendly atmosphere, the variety of folds, the
food, the shop and everything. This year has been the one with the
most participants so far. Of course there is no way to talk to
everyone on such a big convention, but still we had a great time. From
the models we folded, I especially like Daniela Carboni's waterfall. A
simple model with so much expression. The model display in Italy is
always worth seeing too.
