Happy Folding enjoy origami online

Three weeks ago I posted a quick video and a somewhat longer written text on JC Nolan's Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for re-releasing his book "Creating Origami". And what a success it has already been!

tl;dr*: If you'd like to see "Creating Origami" by JC Nolan reprinted visit http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1925886496/creating-origami-a-foldab... before Monday, June 4th 2012.

* too long; didn't read - in other words, beware, this is a longer post. :)

I thought I'd highlight that starting this Saturday you'll have a unique opportunity: to purchase original origami art pieces folded by their designers - and all for a good cause!

Each day, a different model folded by its creator will be available on eBay in an auction lasting 3 days. The highest bidder will then get that unique, folded piece, and support a good cause with the money paid for it. That's because these auctions are part of the "Spring 2012 Origami Caravan Auction". All funds raised will support the "Origami Caravan" project, which was started by Makoto Yamaguchi to benefit the children affected by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

You can read more on it at http://origamicaravan.org, but to give you an idea of the models up for grabs, here's the list (as presented on http://origamicaravan.org/2012-pieces/):

Good news! Kim Komando selected happyfolding as her "Cool Site of the Day" on April 26th 2012. Thanks for the feature!

If you headed here from www.komando.com I recommend you either get inspired by visiting the gallery, or start folding along to one of my instructional videos. Of course, feel free to explore the rest of the site, too. You might find some hidden treasures.

Enjoy the site. And happy folding!
