There seems to be a theme right now of reprising origami from my book for various exhibitions. For the annual Holiday Tree at the American Museum of Natural History Ros from OUSA asked me to contribute one of Lizards and a couple of my Octopi. She provided me with really cool papers. The Lizard paper is called Stardream. It’s thickish and kinda sparkly. The one had was large (maybe 20”) and green. Perfect. The paper for the Octopi was foil backed with a crinkly texture, one red and one brown, maybe 15” square. Also came out very nice. I ended up folding the octopi up in Boston cuz I was behind schedule. The larger size made it hard to sculpt the finishing stages, and I had to use a spoon instead of a finger on the inside. I dropped them off at the museum one day last week on my lunch break. It was a crisp autumn day, great for a walk thru Central Park.
While we’re at it here are some pics from our Hallowe’en Jack o’Lantern this year, designed by Michelle.
