The origami is coming together

The school's fundraiser is three weeks hence, and so we are beginning to get a sense of urgency about getting the origami all folded (they have an asian theme to the fundraiser this year, and so I am coordinating the students folding enough pieces to decorate all the tables).
Apparently there will be 20 large tables, with several pieces on each ---- 11 of them will be sponsor tables with more substantial main pieces --- ranging from cranes made from 12 inch paper (mostly done) to geometric shapes, other animals, etc.
I think that we've done about 80% of the folding so far --- including all the folding that we did for the hundreds of invitations! --- but the remaining pieces are the ones that we need for the important (i.e. expensive) tables, and hence need to be more impressive!

Conveniently, I may be out of town for a few days a week before the benefit happens -- giving me an additional incentive to have everything done next week!

I've been promised photographs of the final displays --- LOML and I are better at donating our time to projects than our money! --- and will post them here in a few weeks time.



Yours, piecing it all together,
N.

  1. That sounds like an awful lot of paper folding! It would be great to see some pics of the finished articles. Good luck!
