This was a most talented group of folders. Some had folded a model or two or origami, and others had not folded before!
The girls at right are folding the pieces that would make the bowl above, or the fun dragon I teach in classes, or even the lovely swan bowls that are pictured on the birthday page! |
A lovely "Ella" at her 10th Birthday Party - with a Japanese theme, wearing her own pretty Kimono... Ella holds a beautiful origami bowl from the table of the home's hostess.
This bowl is a stunning example of what can be done by assembly of a simple unit origami piece! Made from recycled magazine or other papers, this bowl is truly a find. We estimate there are about 1000 or more pieces of origami. See Ella's Page for the instructions for folding this piece! I counted nearly 100 pieces in the first small center bottom circle. |

On a rainy day in California the girls still had a perfect day, a perfect table and location, for the birthday party and origami folding!
The girls are working on the Noshi, - the wrapper for their new chopsticks!
We used great papers and had a great time learning to fold about 6 models in a short time! This is possible when the folders are so super!
It was lively, fun, and everyone went away with many models! |
The joy of origami is in the fun and beauty of the finished models.
The joy of the "Teacher" is seeing such beautiful faces & smiles, and the great interaction with such a fantastic group of girls.
Thank you to the Moms who helped as well!! |
Everyone should be very proud of their work and folding.
We were able to learn so many models in the short hour and a half, because the girls were smart, focused, fun, and very good with their fingers! |
